Over the course of twenty-five years, doctors diagnosed Sarah Fay with six different conditions- anorexia, major depressive disorder (MDD), anxiety disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and bipolar disorder. Pathological is the gripping story of the factors that led to those diagnoses, and the impact each had on her life. But, it is also a rigorously researched investigation into the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM)-psychiatry's "bible," the manual, from which all mental illness diagnoses come. Yet, as Sarah found out, this revered standard is fiction. Fay contemplates what it means to live with mental illness and what it has meant for her life, and for many others in similar circumstances. So many people have been misdiagnosed and over-diagnosed with multiple (sometimes, competing) conditions, causing massive confusion, immense anguish, and unnecessary suffering. As Fay learned, with knowledge comes the ability to understand what invented terms like "clinical depression" or "anxiety disorder" or "bipolar disorder" or any other DSM diagnosis really means. In telling her story, Sarah uses a surprising literary device, a fresh and entertaining survey of the rules and history of punctuation, to illuminate how, like pathology, punctuation orders and categorizes, and tries to make sense of what's otherwise disordered.
