     The disabling mood swings of bipolar disorder, once called manic depression, currently affect over 2 million Americans. Far beyond happy or sad moods, the condition is often agonizing and even life threatening. According to the National Alliance for Research on Schizophrenia and Depression, as many as 1 in 5 people with bipolar disorder will commit suicide.

     Many people are not aware that they suffer from bipolar disorder, and continue to endure the emotional turmoil until a particularly bad episode results in diagnosis and subsequent treatment. While psychiatric drugs may control symptoms, they cannot cure the disorder—in fact, they often create a new set of psychological hurdles. Rather than repressing outer symptoms as psycho-pharmaceuticals do, The Natural Medicine Guide to Bipolar Disorder suggests treating the underlying imbalances. According to the author, Stephanie Marohn, this is the only way to a lasting recovery.

Talk to Stephanie Marohn about:

 The causes, triggers and contributors to bipolar disorder
 Bipolar disorder and allergies: allergy elimination techniques
 Biochemical individuality and customized treatment
 Cranial compression caused by mercury fillings, vaccinations or even natural birth

     Stephanie Marohn is a respected medical journalist, who has suffered from depression herself and knows from personal experience what works.  Her book is about healing bipolar disorder, not merely enduring it.  Marohn is the author of The Healthy Mind Guides, a collection of alternative approaches to treating a variety of health issues including autism, schizophrenia and anxiety.
