I have created this page, that details some information of which I trust will be useful to all and cover some aspects of Health Concerns...

Mental illness currently affects a large number of the population. Unfortunately, there is still a great deal of stigma attached to conditions that affect the mind. Mostly due to ignorance.

For instance, take BIPOLAR DISORDER commonly known as manic depression.

BIPOLAR DISORDER sufferers and their families can often feel isolated within the wider community. However, help is offered from the manic depressive fellowship.

They run self help groups in most local areas and excellent web support can be found at their website:

MDF

A useful book to read was written by a psychiatrist who herself is a sufferer of Bipolar Disorder: Kay Redfield Jamison. She has written several books about her experiences of this illness and writes from the unusual perspective of being both patient and doctor.

 
"An Unquiet Mind" is available from Amazon.co.uk
