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 Bipolar Disorder 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.
