Kate Richards’ bleakly beautiful, confronting and important book, Madness: A Memoir, describes her 15 years coping with psychosis and depression, and her long, hard-won journey back to sanity, with the help of a wise and compassionate psychologist.

In this video, she speaks with Ranjana Srivastava, an oncologist and fellow author, about her experience –and about being able to write from deep within it, with expertise as both a medical researcher and writer.
