Bipolar Strong reaches out to teens and young adults

Have you ever felt that you just don't fit in, or that you will never be able to accomplish the things you want in life? That no one understands you, or maybe that if anyone knew your true feelings they would not like you? Perhaps you feel you are the only one who feels the way you do. Bipolar Strong is a book that will show you that there are WAY more people who have similar thoughts and feelings than you ever imagined. And that there are ways to take back control of your life and steer it where you truly wish to go.

Many with bipolar disorder, major depression, and other neurological brain disorders at times feel weak and vulnerable to disappointment in themselves and other's view of them. Bipolar Strong invites you to hear stories from people that felt much the same way, and found their way through it. These youth share the depth of their despair, as well as their many triumphs, and a creative variety of tips to help you find your way.

Anne Gardner has brought this diverse group together to encourage awareness and understanding that breeds strength and action. The book includes basic information to identify symptoms and helpful ideas for managing life to minimize unnecessary stress, which can trigger and worsen symptoms. Included in the book is a Resource section full of organizations, websites, and good books for more information and support.

Whether you read Bipolar Strong for yourself, or someone you care about, it is a book that not only gives hope, but empowers youth to find their own strength and build the futures they deserve and desire for themselves. You can be both bipolar, and strong!
