Welcome to BipolarYoungAdult.com -
a website for young adults living with bipolar disorder. 

Our intent is to further your exploration of the important issues pertaining to this disorder, and to introduce you to:

Facing Bipolar: The Young Adult's Guide to Dealing with Bipolar Disorder

New Harbinger Publications

Facing Bipolar provides you with

• a concise description of the signs and symptoms of bipolar disorder
• a discussion of the essential combined role of psychotherapy and medication. 
• an overview of the multiple complexities of living with bipolar disorder during late adolescence and young adulthood.

Our desire is to also convey an important message of hope if you're bipolar or at least think you are. That is, life with bipolar disorder will be different than life without the disorder; but different doesn't mean not as good. It does mean that if you're bipolar you'll face a unique set of challenges requiring your attention. 

It's important you know that a healthy and balanced life with bipolar disorder is possible. We hope our book in conjunction with this site will facilitate your realization of that possibility.
