This self-help book describes how I’ve managed to survive and thrive with bipolar disorder for over 30 years. It offers tips on how to pick a good psychiatrist, how to handle depression, anxiety and insomnia, and how to help a loved one who’s going through a manic episode. It shares with you the lessons I've learned, sometimes the hard way, over the years and also explores the “good crazy” side of being bipolar--and yes, there are some good sides, believe it or not. Many with this disorder are good artists, writers, and musicians. Many are also well-organized and have good sex lives. As the best psychiatrist I ever had told me, “You’re lucky. You’re in good company.” It’s all up to you--the person who has bipolar disorder--to decide if you’re lucky or not. To decide if your glass is half-full or half-empty. I sincerely hope my book will help you and your loved ones. It has received Five and Four Star Reviews.

This is a self-help book that I wrote for those who have bipolar disorder (as I do) and those who have a friend, spouse, or other significant other who is bipolar. It is written for both the patient and the caregiver. I'm not a mental health professional but I've learned a lot in the 38 years since I was first diagnosed with bipolar disorder. I also have 3 people in my immediate family who had bipolar disorder. So, I've been there on both sides and have a unique perspective and enough first-hand experience to be an "expert", whether I want to or not. I know what a rollercoaster ride it can be. This book is the sometimes funny/sometimes heartbreaking story of my family’s battle with bipolar disorder; and, more importantly, it's a self-help book I've written that shares tips, survival skills, and coping mechanisms I've learned, sometimes the hard way, over the years. I sincerely hope this book will help you and your loved ones cope with the symptoms of bipolar disorder and you will be able to not only survive but thrive. depression, suicide, mania, anxiety, caregiver, bipolar disorder, manic depression

In 1987, Judy Eron married a brilliant man. Her husband, Jim, was bipolar but remained stable until a vacation the couple took in June 1996, when he forgot to bring his prescribed lithium and quickly launched into a year-long manic phase. His mania culminated, inevitably, in severe depression that led to his suicide in October 1997. During those confusing and frightening months, Jim became a stranger to Judy. Even she, a mental health counselor, and he, a psychologist, could not prevent Jim's downward spiral, although as she now knows, there were many "wrong" choices that Judy could have avoided making. During Jim's prolonged manic phase, Judy was unable to find any literature focused on the manic element of bipolar disorder. After his death, she set out to write the kind of book she had sought. What Goes Up... is more than just Judy's story of loving and living with someone in the manic phase. Drawing on her experience as a mental health counselor, Eron offers advice and coping strategies for readers with loved ones or friends who also suffer from this illness. She provides advice on what they should expect from someone in the midst of a manic episode, how to engage with that person, how to get help for that person, and how to maintain their own sanity and strength in the face of such unpredictable and intense behavior.
