The Mind of a Manic Depressive is a poetry book about true emotions. After some storms in life, Tameka LaShay was diagnosed with the illness and needed ways to cope. She had to release the hurt in order to accept the promise. This book is her proof that one can move past the negative and become great. She hopes this book can bring understanding and awareness to people who do not understand mental illness and also help those who suffer from any form of mental illness to get help and not allow it to control them.
