When Your Mind Becomes a Stranger
Imagine waking up one morning to find yourself transformed into someone else-your thoughts foreign, your behavior unrecognizable, your loved ones appearing as imposters. This nightmare became reality for Susannah Cahalan, a vibrant 24-year-old New York Post reporter whose world imploded when her own immune system launched an attack on her brain. What began as an obsession with imaginary bedbugs spiraled into a harrowing month of madness that nearly claimed her life. Her memoir "Brain on Fire" chronicles this descent into neurological chaos and the remarkable medical detective work that ultimately saved her. Beyond its gripping narrative, Cahalan's story has literally saved lives, as readers recognize similar symptoms in themselves or loved ones, leading to proper diagnosis of what was once considered an extremely rare condition.
