The Bipolar Expeditionist describes what it is like to experience every level of mania right up to the fully blown stage, as well as the depressing stagnating flipside. Far less stigma and taboo are attached to illnesses of the mind these days, but that's still not good enough, so these issues are also addressed. This book enables readers of any level, age or race to comprehend an often tricky subject in a way that isn't too heavy and overpowering, but with just enough mental glue to stick. The Bipolar Expeditionist is not only a true story, it is an inspirational tool that can be used by caregivers, sufferers and medical professionals for many years to come. Optimism oozes out of the pages, telling the bipolar beholder or their loved ones that all is never lost. By the time The Bipolar Expeditionist has been read you will realise exactly why you will never be left alone, and that despite the agonizing slog you will always past the test, and then go on to enjoy a fulfilling and creative life, just as God intended.

Nigel Price writes with searing honesty about his life experiences, starting with a privileged childhood in England followed by diagnosis with Type 1 Bipolar Disorder in his teens. Like many bipolar individuals he has a strong creative streak. A Bachelor's Degree with Honours in Three Dimensional Design led to Nigel working as a designer and fabricator of precious metals, producing many fine pieces. In his twenties in the USA he joined a cult, very nearly resulting in the end of his life via suicide. After returning to the UK, his onward passage through life hit stormy seas, for he was Sectioned under the Mental Health Act on numerous occasions. This resulted in extensive stays in various institutions. However Nigel refused to be beaten. He took up his craft once more, and embraced the Welsh side of his heritage. His Phoenix-like resurgence following his move to the Welsh valleys has led to the completion of some remarkable pieces of work in silver and gold, and a renewed interest in teaching and music.

The importance of recognising the knowledge and the needs of service users and engaging them more proactively within the care process is now widely acknowledged, but it is not always clear how this can come about. The Lived Experience of Mental Health highlights individuals’ own lived and felt mental health experience in order to share their expertise about mental health problems and the care offered. This text begins by exploring the importance of engaging with the internal world of those living with various mental health problems and reflecting upon personal narratives as means of expressing and sharing experience, as well as the status of these narratives as 'evidence'. The central section of the book looks at five commonly experienced mental health states: anxiety problems, depression, mood extremes, states of altered reality (linked, for example, with psychosis and schizophrenia) and impaired cognition (linked, for example, with dementia). The chapters look at how the mental state in question is experienced, including the experience of it in the context of the wider world, where health and social care services and the responses of other people play a part. Drawing on personal narratives from a wide range of sources, this text foregrounds the voices of experts by experience and relates them to the academic literature. The narratives collectively convey a breadth of experience including both concepts of struggling and living well with mental health issues. The book ends by outlining resources where a range of first-person narratives can be accessed, from online forums to films, and providing a strategy for teaching and learning associated with the exploration of lived experience narratives. Designed for health professionals working with people experiencing mental health problems, this illuminating text uses personal narratives to emphasise the importance of person-centred care and participation by services users in their own care. It will also be an interesting read for experts by experiences themselves as well as their families and friends.

Denslow opens his heart and bares his soul. He truly is on a mission to ignite a fire in our hearts for personal responsibility of mental health. His life story and wisdom are a true guiding light for all of us still learning to dance with our shadows. He not only shares positive healthy methods for breaking free from a personal hell within, but invites us to dream again while envisioning the possibilities we desire. Denslow acknowledges the dark side, and does not run from it. He has given us a true guide for the mental landscape of heaven and hell. .... “Passion and truth, are like food and water for a bi polar person. With out them we are lost or numb. We really can check out anytime we want. Blow a gasket going high, or sink into the dirt lost forever, but if we stay connected with planet earth and this life what we can do right here right now, then we can have a reason to hang out for longer periods of time in the middle ground.” .... Being bi polar is an opportunity to practice everyday the way we can serve others in the same capacity we have to serve ourselves. We lead people to a better life, through being an example of continual discovery and overcoming our inner swings. We provide nurturing comfort and guidance because we know firsthand the need for it. .... Compassion is the gem of living with our mental opportunities. The better we are at taking care of ourselves through highs and lows, the deeper we can feel connected with people that experience any size of bump or vision in the road. .... “Clear your energy, Honor your Rhythm, Live your vision.” ~ George Denslow
