"The Neuroscientist Who Lost Her Mind: My Tale of Madness and Recovery" (Encore)

Aired on Monday, July 13th.

Our guest on this encore edition of ST Medical Monday is Dr. Barbara Lipska, Director of the Human Brain Collection Core at the National Institute of Mental Health, where she studies mental illness and human brain development. She joins us to discuss her engaging and disturbing memoir, "The Neuroscientist Who Lost Her Mind: My Tale of Madness and Recovery." As noted of this book by Kirkus Reviews: "A vibrant mental health expert's bout with brain cancer and the revolutionary treatments that saved her life.... A harrowing, intimately candid survivor's journey through the minefields of cancer treatment."
