THE OTHER SIDE OF BIPOLAR offers hope and a new perspective of mental illness that can help millions of people. A unique combination of memoir and self-help book, it invites us to re-examine our definitions of mental illness as a debilitating disease and consider another possibility - what if instead of something being wrong, these symptoms point to capacities that are not yet fully understood? What if being bipolar or mentally ill is a sign that you have intelligences that others do not understand? Through this new perspective, you can be empowered to go beyond any diagnosis or label you have been given and start to explore the uniqueness and beauty of who you truly are.
