Stacy Pershall grew up as an overly intelligent, depressed, deeply strange girl in Prairie Grove, Arkansas, population 1,000. From her days as a 13-year-old Jesus freak through her eventual diagnosis of bipolar disorder and borderline personality disorder, this spirited memoir chronicles Pershall's journey through hell and her struggle with the mental health care system.

It's done with such witt and sincerity, by an author whose talents and career includeds writing. It combines her valuable first- hand insight, her thoughts, feelings, and experience, and applies core fundamentals of borderline personality disorder and bipolar disorder. It a great example of a case of both. It is medically accurate, but more importantly gives depth and personal insight to an otherwise dry "five out of the nine symptoms" listed in the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual) for borderline personality disorder.
She tasks the reader step- by- step through time. it's written in the first person, which gives the reader the chance to get into her shots and share those experiences as she describes them.
Since the reader is the author there's is no doubt as to whether the reader is correctly portraying the author's story.
I usually take a long while listening to an audible book, but I raced through through this one because I spent all my free time to listening to the book. I didn't want to put in down.
Wonderful lnsight with Light Humor

If you could sum up Loud in the House of Myself in three words, what would they be?
Informative, Intriguing, DarkWhat did you like best about this story?
Beyond the memoir, the author speculates on the mental health world of diagnosis, medication, and treatment.Any additional comments?
I found this to be a very intriguing and information memoir, focusing not only on the author’s individual experiences, but also going into detail about the way the mental health system works for those diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder and Bipolar. It serves as a source of experiential knowledge for those who may not understand these disorders and the hardships involved both for the suffering and for the psychiatric teams who sometimes struggle to help those with BPD due to the very nature of the disorder.Pershall relates to a quick overview of her life and the instances that defined her as she grew up and moved through the system. It’s relatively short, but I found it to be an interesting, well written work that doesn’t sound whiny or unrealistic or embellished. I would have liked to see a little more memoir that was more in-depth, as many of the scenes are general or just speculate on how medication/doctors work.
Overall, if you’re looking more a memoir based on mental health that’s a quick read and not incredibly triggering, this may be the book for you!
