What color is Monday?

What is the disorder described in your book? Please refer to DSM 5 in your answer. Give the specific DSM
criteria (cite the DSM 5, not Morrison) and relate the criteria to the person in the memoir. Be very specific
about the symptoms you observed. Give specific examples of details from the book to support your
diagnosis. Be careful to use proper quotation methods for your DSM material. You can use block quotes or
an appendix for the DSM criteria if they are longer than a few lines. Do not include the DSM criteria
appendix in your page count.
How was the character’s life changed as a result of her disorder or in light of her disorder? How did the
illness affect the character’s family or friends? What impact did the disorder have on the person’s work,
education, life goals or aspirations, relationships with others, overall health, finances, personality, happiness,
spirituality etc.? Think and write about all aspects of functioning. How typical is this case compared to other
people who have this disorder? You will need to do some research about this disorder to answer this
question. Include at least 1 scholarly source in your bibliography.
How have you changed as a result of reading this book? Did you have any stereotyped images, beliefs or
prejudices about mental illness (or about the specific disorder that you read about) that were changed from
reading the book? Please be honest in your self-appraisal. Do you now have an increased understanding of
the suffering of those who have mental illness, or an increased understanding of how the mental illness
stigma affects those with a diagnosis, or an awareness of the difficulty some people experience finding an
appropriate diagnosis or treatment? For example, I never considered the financial strain that a manic buying
spree could have on a person until I read Jamison’s book. Had Jamison not had a supportive brother, she
might have gone bankrupt!
The Book is: What color is Monday?
