Author and deep thinker Tom Wootton challenges me every time I read his work. We have chosen different paths on our journey with bipolar disorder, but we both believe that extreme self evaluation and reflection are an important part of learning to manage this illness. He sent me the link to his thought provoking and view shifting article from Psychology Today with these words:
I value depression as much as any state. Have you seen my article about finding ecstasy in depression? Perhaps my most radical article.

I believe there are a myriad of ways to manage bipolar disorder. Tom offers a path that might help you if you have not yet found work that resonates with how you or a loved one experience bipolar disorder. Think of what you need- explore what is out there and then find what works for you!
