ABOUT THE BOOK
A True Life Story
The Making of a Bipolar Success" is a compelling real-life story of bipolar disorder, shedding light on the highs, lows, and triumphs of living with bipolar disorder. Through exposing my personal positive and negative experiences, I hope to help you see that you too can achieve your version of success despite the challenges that life and mental health issues you face. This book is more than a memoir—It is an example of being able to thrive as a bipolar and attempts to break the stigma surrounding a Mental Health diagnosis.
