Tristimania

In 2013, Jay Griffiths experienced a devastating mental breakdown that led to a year-long episode of manic depression. She swung from the extreme highs of mania to the depths of suicidal depression. Eventually she resolved to take control of her situation, taking on the formidable Camino de Santiago pilgrimage across Europe without any companion or support - determined to find a cure for her torment. Tristimania is the staggeringly courageous and soaringly lyrical account of this unforgettable year.
