Bipolar Disorder. My Reality

Svetlana Bozrova – candidate of biological sciences, graduate of the biology faculty of Lomonosov Moscow State University, author of numerous articles and publications, scientific editor with diagnosed BD (bipolar affective disorder) type II. Over 10 years living with the diagnosis, Svetlana has stopped being afraid of her illness, learned to cope with mood swings, and found a fragile but long-awaited balance. In her candid book "Bipolar Disorder. My Reality," Svetlana not only shares her own experience but also dismantles stereotypes related to mental disorders. She honestly describes emotional ups and downs, where periods of complete despair, pain, fear, and even suicide attempts are replaced by cheerfulness, bursts of energy, and a sense of one’s own omnipotence. This book is for those diagnosed with BD, their relatives and friends, as well as for anyone who wants to peek into the complex and mysterious world of psychiatry. The BD diagnosis is not an end, but a new starting point. With it, one can learn not just to survive, but to truly live!
