ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Brain on Fire by Susannah Cahalan is a gripping memoir that chronicles the author’s sudden and unexplained descent into a severe mental illness. At the height of her career as a young journalist, Cahalan experiences violent mood swings, hallucinations, and memory loss. Her journey through misdiagnoses and intense medical tests ultimately uncovers a rare autoimmune disorder affecting her brain. The book explores themes of identity, memory, and the fragility of the human mind, while delving into the emotional and psychological impacts of a medical crisis. Cahalan’s account offers a powerful reflection on survival, family, and the pursuit of understanding.
