A glimpse into the life of a vivacious young woman whose brilliant mind is caught in the ebbs and flows of her mental illness.The true story of a spirited young woman whose brilliant mind is caught in the grip of mental illness, known as bipolar disorder. In constant flux between transient euphoria and utter despair, Camille attempts to decode her mind and treat her illness.

However, she discovers that the will of the patient is not always enough to cure the ills of the mind, and the only way she can find a semblance of peace is when surrounded and supportedif not understood. It is this compassion which allows her to stay anchored in life, a buoy ebbing and flowing with the ocean.

State(s) of Mind's strength is in its unabashed and unapologetic account of the destruction and desolation that the disorder causes, but more importantly, the beautiful humanity and compassion that blossom in its wake.

Industry Reviews

""Just as often harrowing and heartbreaking as it is triumphant and uplifting."" - PASTE ""There's [an] interesting dichotomy at work in States of Mind, which sees its protagonist learning how destructive to her life her disorder can be, while, perhaps more importantly, also coming to appreciate the compassion she experiences from others as a result."" - COMICS BEAT ""Stories like this need to exist. Stories like this will hopefully continue to build dignity within the people who struggle with mental illness."" - FANBASE PRESS
