Bipolar Women

In this deeply personal and profoundly hopeful memoir, Dr. Clarisse Djeumo Djukom invites listeners into her intimate journey of living with bipolar disorder as a Christian woman. With raw honesty and unwavering faith, she chronicles her path from the subtle early warning signs—dismissed as stress or fatigue—through the devastating extremes of manic highs and crushing depressive lows, to finding stability, purpose, and peace.

As it had for generations before her, a heaviness hung over Monica A. Coleman throughout her young life. As an adult, this rising star in the academy saw career successes often fueled by the modulated highs of undiagnosed bipolar disorder, as she hid deep depression that even her doctors skimmed past in disbelief. Serendipitous encounters with Black intellectuals like Henry Louis Gates Jr., Angela Davis, and Renita Weems were countered by long nights of stark loneliness. Only as Coleman began to face her illness was she able to live honestly and faithfully in the world.
