A tale of breakdown and recovery 'An intelligent and loving memoir of depression' - The Age Maria Katsonis enjoyed a traditional Greek childhood as the daughter of European immigrants to Australia, living on top of a milk bar and sharing a bedroom with her grandmother. She was a good Greek girl throughout high school until university, when she discovered her rebellious side and abandoned nine-tenths of an economics degree for a career in the theatre. Furthering her studies later in life, she attended Harvard and left with a Masters in Public Administration. Little did she know that, in five years' time, she would be alone on a bed in a psychiatric ward fighting for her life. This is the powerful and moving true-life story of a high-flier who fought a terrifying battle against depression and psychosis. The Mind Thief will make you laugh, cry, gasp and smile. Written with elegance and honesty, it is a harrowing but ultimately uplifting account. The Mind Thief was first published in Australia as The Good Greek Girl.
