Bipolar Expedition (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780595304950)

Bipolar Expedition explains how one can successfully survive serious suicidal manic depression. A victim of manic depression for over forty years, author Gene Leboy lived through two suicide attempts and their resulting hospitalizations.

Bipolar Expedition explains, in both simple and technical terms, what manic depression (Type II Bipolar Disorder) is. Learn how the support of family, friends, loved ones, lovers, medical professionals, medications and knowledge of oneself, are essential components in a fight against depression.

Leboy offers a guide for coping with the serious disease of depression and dealing with the prejudices many people still hold against mental illness. He believes that talking about the disease, frankly and fully, is the most effective approach to managing depression.
