{{Orphan|date=January 2019}}Perry Cossart Baird Jr. (1903–1959[1]) was an American physician, who while suffering from bipolar disorder (then known as manic depressive pyschosis) was also trying to find a cure for the disease. He was the first person to search for a biochemical basis for mania, by injecting adrenalectomized animals with the blood of manic patients.[1][2]

In April 1944, Baird's article Biochemical Component of the Manic-Depressive Psychosis was published in the Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease.[2] These experiments predated John Cade's experiments in Australia in 1948, which led to the discovery of lithium as an effective treatment for mental illness.[3]

Baird's research was halted many times due to his own manic episodes and the work was never completed. During his incarceration in Westborough State Hospital and Baldpate Hospital, Baird wrote a manuscript of his experiences, detailing the harsh treatment of mental patients at that time.[4][5]

In 2015, his research work and the manuscript he wrote whilst institutionalised were published in a book, He Wanted the Moon, written by his daughter, Mimi Baird.[4][6] Plan B Entertainment has optioned the book and Tony Kushner is writing the screenplay.[7]
