An Unquiet Mind

by

Kay Redfield Jamison

An unnamed French artist whom Kay married in the early 1970s while at the beginning of her doctoral studies at UCLA, Kay’s first husband is a kind, gentle, and passionate but level-headed man. He provided the intense Kay with a safe “harbor” for her feelings and emotions. The marriage could not survive the ravages of Kay’s struggles with manic-depressive illness, and after several years, Kay separated from and then divorced her first husband.
