Sufferers lived their lives—if they survived—in and out of asylums, accumulating life's wreckage around them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1948, all that changed when an Australian doctor and recently returned prisoner of war, working alone in a disused kitchen, set about an experimental treatment for one of the scourges of mankind—manic depression, or bipolar disorder. That doctor was John Cade and in that small kitchen he stirred up a miracle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eJohn Cade discovered a treatment that has become the gold standard for bipolar disorder—lithium. It has stopped more people from committing suicide than a thousand help lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLithium is the penicillin story of mental health—the first effective medication discovered for the treatment of a mental illness—and it is, without doubt, Australia's greatest mental health story.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFinding Sanity\u003c\/em\u003e by Greg de Moore explores this miracle story, shining a light on the significant impact of John Cade's groundbreaking work and its lasting legacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46854525157612,"sku":"9781760113704","price":39.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781760113704.jpg?v=1759245566","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/products\/finding-sanity-by-greg-de-moore-9781760113704","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
