Praying to the Goddess of Mercy: A Memoir of Mood Swings - Softcover

No one, least of all Mahita, suspected she was mentally ill ... until a bipolar disorder diagnosis at age 41, followed by a suicide attempt where she narrowly escaped death. This memoir charts Mahita’s journey from chaos to stability. It offers insights into an illness for which there is no known cause, no cure and no immunity. It will inspire and enlighten people with mental disorders and the loved ones who suffer with them.

Mahita Vas (Singapore) struggled for years with what she now knows were manic highs and depressive lows. She credits her husband, children, friends and her daily dosage of lithium for providing an essential element of balance.
