How to Manage Mental Illness: My Hope and Faith

In How to Manage Mental Illness, the author presents readers with a personal and autobiographical story about her journey with mental illness. Diagnosed as bipolar, the author walks readers through both her own and others’ stories of navigating the sometimes difficult terrain of the mental-health community. Because many of those who suffer from mental illness are faced with limited resources and a strong social stigma, the author shows readers how to overcome some of these limitations and live a happy, healthy, and flourishing life with mental illness. The book offers practical guidance and advice, as well as commentary about the state of the mental-health profession and community. Katherine M.
