The article about Elaine Mackardle's book "She Lost Her Mind. An Explicit Story of a Neuroscientist About Disease, Hope, and Return".
Neurodegenerative disorders, traumatic head injuries and age-related changes can affect our behavior, destroy our personality and distort our memory. How does a person feel and perceive reality when a disease affects different areas of the brain? What parts of our "self" remain with us even when a lot goes away? How does your usual life change when your "master processor" starts malfunctioning? And how do you know something's wrong?
Barbarah Lipska, a neurophysiologist, dedicated her life to studying the work of the central nervous system in mental disorders, but one day mental disorders began for her (the cause was metastatic melanoma of the brain). As an experienced specialist, Barbaracharacter attempted to analyze what was happening with her, did not give up, did not surrender. She has successfully coped with the exhausting disease and returned to research activities and triathlon competitions, and also shared with readers her unique experience, showing each stage of the changes that occurred with her.
The book, written by Barbaralong with journalist Elaine Macardle, is not only and not so much about fighting a serious illness. This is a very sincere, exciting and inspiring story about courage, love, overcoming difficulties, support, understanding and accepting yourself.
