A review of Undercurrents: A Life Beneath the Surface
by Martha Manning
since i?m going through ECT myself i thought it would be good to read books written by people who have also had ECT. wrong. Martha Manning is a psychologist herself, so i thought she?d have some really good insight into her experience. nope.the book is in diary form, but the thing about it is the whole thing is written in present tense! very annoying.
This is kind of how I felt about Kay Jamison’s Unquiet Mind. While it was informative, it didnt really grasp my attention the way I thought it would.

I liked both Undercurrents and Unquiet Mind. Althought I liked Undercurrents better.

I can’t stand books written in frist person… or present tense.
This would have killed me.
