BRUNSWICK — In observance of Mental Illness Awareness Week, Mid Coast Hospital will hold a book reading and signing by Christina Solak-Goodwin of her book, “Battling Bipolar Disorder; A Memoir.”
The free event is noon to 1 p.m. Thursday at Mid Coast Hospital Café Conference Room 3, 123 Medical Center Drive in Brunswick.
In her book, Goodwin graphically describes the pain, despair and hopelessness of suffering from mental illness for 17 years. She also describes the inner workings of mental institutions, suicidal plans and the relationships the bipolar patient has with her family and mental health doctors.
