November 4, 2006; Kay Redfield Jamison spoke at Regis University on "Unquiet Mind: Bipolar Disorder and Suicide Awareness"
Since the release of An Unquiet Mind, Dr. Jamison has become a trusted spokesperson for millions who suffer from mental illness and their loved ones. Audiences describe her lectures as profound educational experiences. She addresses the clinical and personal realities of depression and bipolar disorder in a manner that encourages dialogue, empathy and hope. Her national bestseller, Night Falls Fast: Understanding Suicide, was chosen by The New York Times as a “Notable Book of 1999.” Jamison, explaining her reasons for writing the book, said, “I have become increasingly optimistic about the possibilities of suicide prevention but deeply frustrated by the lack of public and professional awareness of the terrible toll it takes.” Suicide is the third leading cause of death in 19 to 24-year olds.
