Bi-Polar Girl Resources
Information on Bi-Polar Disorder exists in three main formats:
- Electronically on websites and forums
- Pamphlet/Leaflet formats - on paper (such as the NHS)
- In books, either medical or personal experience.
Some of these books are available in print, others as e-books. Or both.
I came across Gabe Howard when I found his wonderful book Mental Illness Is An Asshole - I highly recommend it because, although it refers to mental health in the USA as opposed to here in the UK, the way he describes what we Bi-Polar Landers go through is second to none.
Also I recommend his podcasts because they are informative and - dare I say it - fun.
Here is his website link: www.gabehoward.com.
Over the years I have read many different blogs on the internet and Natasha's I have found to be extrememly good because the author is a bipolar sufferer herself and she writes about all the different symptoms and problems, small and large, that we Bi-Polanders Landers live with on a daily basis and she always hits the nail on the head.
Here is the link to her website:

It is lengthy and yet well worth reading because it does a good job of describing the way the brain functions - or at least what we know and understand of it.

Should you wish to obtain information about Bi-Polar Disorder from the NHS, please be aware that the following booklets are available free of charge:

I really like the list of 10 Common Myths about Clinical Depression written by Angela Peterson who is from Houston in the USA.
Although it is written by an American for an American audience, the points Angela makes are totally valid for anybody in our western world and probably Australia as well.

Write 'Bi-Polar Disorder' in a Google search and you will be inundated with results. The problem is that quantity is not necessarily quality.
