Follow on Google News | New Street Announces Brave, Empowering Memoir of Bipolar Disorder Coming Soon to AudioErin Callinan's BEAUTIFULLY BIPOLAR provides a riveting, sometimes frightening yet consistently inspiring account of one brave young woman's journey through manic depression.
“I was frustrated," "Her book describes bipolar disorder as a strange place full of darkness and odd behaviors. Of trips to psychiatric wards. Of incredible highs and deep lows." So writes Larry Hendricks in the Arizona Daily Sun. "But she is not her disorder. And what's more, people suffering from it can thrive and lead fulfilling lives. That's the message of Erin Callinan ... Her purpose: To challenge people to address and remove the stigma associated with mental illness." "There was a part of me that felt great sadness when I reflected back on my life," Erin writes. "Sadness about the girl that went through what she did, and the family that suffered along with her. Reading through my journals from those earlier years felt like reading through someone else's life. Part of writing my book meant that I had to relive those horrific memories and face them head on. While I am now successfully managing my disorder, it was challenging for me to return to that dark place ... ." Readers and reviewers have enthusiastically praised the volume, one calling it the "perfect first non-clinical book for family members, loved ones, or even sufferers themselves, who are just adjusting to the unsettling diagnosis of bipolar disorder." Ultimately Erin's story is impossible to set aside and vitally important to know.
