|summary=This is the story of ''New York Post'' reporter Susannah Cahalan's mystery illness and her descent into madness, the deep soul-searching prompted when the disease called into question basic assumptions about the author's personality, and her slow road to recovery. At times moving, at times graphic, but always unflinchingly honest.

One day Susannah Cahalan was a bright, outgoing tabloid reporter in New York, with a promising career ahead of her. Within weeks a mysterious illness reduced her to an incoherent shadow of her former self, struggling with basic tasks, and left doctors at one of the world's top medical centres baffled. In ''Brain on Fire'', Cahalan – now in the 'post-recovery' stage of her life – attempts to recapture the memories and events from the her 'month of madness' before diagnosis and cure.
