John is also passionate about helping those living with mental health conditions. In his recent book (below), he shares his experiences since being diagnosed with a Bipolar Condition in 2009, in an effort to help those who have been similarly diagnosed. The book provides a firsthand account of managing/understanding the condition, working with professionals, learning to use medications and view them the same way an athlete views carbohydrates the night before a big sporting event, learning to manage any side effects of medications, and having a more positive outlook on life in the midst of a psychiatrist applying a Bipolar brand. If you or someone you care about has been diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder, or if you are a therapist, psychiatrist, religious or spiritual leader, please send an email to [email protected] – John would like to mail you a free copy of the book.
