Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I Hate Being Bipolar! It Feels Good! Are you always feeling happy and then sad the next second?Unsure of your current state of emotions?Having issues with focus concentration?Want a change in your life? The REAL problem is not what is happening on the outside but it is on the inside. You do not have control over your mind even though you think otherwise. 99.99% of our decisions are made based on emotions without even realizing it. Why not... Discover our holistic therapy? The patient with the disorder experiences a shift between these two extremes. Some cycle between them within a few days, others take months to complete the cycle.

These manifestations of the imbalance within the individual can easily affect their effectiveness in the workplace, their ability to recover from trauma, or their time management. Understanding how to cope with the manifestation of the disorder is crucial for the quality of life of those living with it. To address this reality, many people turn to medication, and it is effective for them. This is a happy circumstance, and everything that works should be pursued.
