Bipolar Disorder. My Reality

Svetlana Bozrova is a candidate of biological sciences, a graduate of the biology faculty of Lomonosov Moscow State University, author of numerous articles and publications, a scientific editor with diagnosed Bipolar Affective Disorder (type II). Over the 10 years of living with this diagnosis, Svetlana stopped being afraid of her illness, learned to cope with mood swings, and found a fragile yet long-awaited balance. In her frank book “Bipolar Disorder. My Reality,” Svetlana not only shares her own experience but also dismantles stereotypes associated with mental disorders. She speaks honestly about emotional swings, where periods of complete despair, pain, fear, and even suicide attempts are replaced by energy, an influx of strength, and a feeling of one’s own omnipotence. This book is for those diagnosed with bipolar disorder, for their family and friends—as well as for everyone who wants to look into the complex and mysterious world of psychiatry. A bipolar diagnosis is not the end, but a new starting point. With it, you can learn not just to survive, but to truly live!
