Compassionate Psychiatry Worked Wonders for My Life with Bipolar Disorder

          Before 2015 I had only met one psychiatrist who didn't want to get me on medication as quickly as possible, or who wasn't aggressively supportive of me staying on my medication. The attitude that even discussing reducing or coming off psychiatric medication was irresponsible and should be shut down asap, is all too prevalent in psychiatry. I had such bad side effects that I decided to come off lithium anyway.           I believe in being brave and not giving up too easy, but there comes a point when soldiering on becomes stubborn, pig headed and foolish. Knowing the difference is not always easy. Life can be complicated, and it’s not always easy to know when we should meet life’s challenges head on or when we should give up gracefully. As far as living with bipolar is concerned, I sometimes want to go one way, but life wants to go another. If I don’t spot this conflict, I can find myself in all sorts of trouble. ...

How To Explain Bipolar To Your Friends

          Telling a friend that you have a serious mental illness is a risk, but it can reap tremendous rewards. Until the words "I have bipolar disorder," have come out of your mouth, you won't know how your friend is going to take this news. You might think you know how they are going to react, you might hope it's going to go well, but until you roll the dice and see their reaction, you won't know for sure.            I'm the author of Befriending Bipolar and I've lived with bipolar disorder for 33 years.

Be Brave my Son: A Poem About Life's Challenges

I wrote this poem for the closing sequence for the TV coverage of the Dakar Rally. The text was changed a little due to political correctness and a failure to understand it fully. I want to publish my original poem, which is more powerful than the edited version. Here is the original...   Be Brave Be brave my son. For the desert lays claim to your dreams, your hopes, your life. Be brave, for the dark of night is approaching and your strength will be tested.   "Fortune favours the brave," they say. But who is brave enough to test them?   You could have stayed at home, stayed safe, and watched from afar.   But you choose to stare into the jaws of death. To face the fear that defeats most men before they have begun.   Why?   For glory?    I think not. Glory vanishes like rain in the desert.   For riches?    I doubt it. Riches buy little more than problems and pain.   For eternity?   Yes, for eternity. To touch that moment tha...
