Book Review: Mind on the Run

The actual name of the book is: Mind on the Run: A Bipolar Chronicle, and chronicle it is, for it chronicles the tragedy that one family endured as one of its members, Scotty, went through five major, prolonged bipolar manic episodes, ending in a suicide that never should have happened.

The book is written by Dottie Pacharis, Scotty's mother, and is told over the course of thirteen years, during which time Scotty was committed 14 times to 11 different hospitals for his manic episodes - escaping from two of them - all along the east coast of the country.

Reading this book, you continually ask yourself, "How could this have happened?" Even as you read the events as they transpired, appalled as, time and time again, Scotty was able to manipulate judges during hearings as he claimed he "is not bipolar, has never been bipolar," and the judges believed him, releasing him without committing him even though he was obviously very ill.
