Take Your #*@&*% Medication: A Bipolar Autobiography

By: John S. Xanders

Take Your #*@&*% Medication: A Bipolar Autobiography is the true story of one man’s journey through diagnosis and not only living, but thriving, with bipolar disorder.

A resource to those newly diagnosed, those living with, and those whose loved ones are diagnosed with the illness, John S. Xanders’ personal experiences serve not only as a teaching mechanism, but also a sign of hope, as bipolar disorder is not a life-sentence, nor a death sentence. Managed correctly, one can live a happy, healthy life, and in fact, it ended up giving Xanders a wonderful perspective of life itself; a perspective he’s eager to share with you.

From signs and symptoms, to diagnosis and treatment, learn to identify bipolar disorder and have it treated properly before it gets out of hand. No matter where you are at in your diagnosis and treatment, the message is clear: take your medication, and you’ll right the ship - even when it feels impossible!
