A Bipolar's Journey: From Torment to Fulfillment

A big thank you for this book. The expressions are so powerful that I simply could not stop reading it! My ardent prayers that this book reaches all individuals affected by Bipolar Disorder or those caregivers of individuals with some form of this disorder for it is that light of hope which spurs one on the journey towards betterment.

The author claims his work (on the cover page) as a journey from torment to fulfillment. Nevertheless, for the purpose of my review, I rephrase it ‘a progression of a writer to a published author’. It might intrigue you how the two statements inter-relate and for that matter of fact what he has to share with the readers in this book? It’s about his personal tryst with his destiny. Interestingly, this is a question, that we all try to answer throughout our lives. Generally speaking, as soon as we get to learn that the person in question is distressed with some medical ailment; a feeling of sympathy (and sometimes even empathy) creeps in. Very rarely, it happens that we witness and appreciate his personal scuffle within the mental boundaries of his mind. Just imagine, what if, the mind is also having an internal tussle? Is this explanation draining your nerves? Yes, it does and I completely understand. This is author’s daring attempt in sharing his personal life incidents and making us respect the other people’s thought process and prevailing conditions. The author shares that he is afflicted with ‘Bipolar Disorder’. This is a kind of mental limitation which he educates you with, in the various sections of the book. Wonder – why I mentioned ‘Various’ sections of the book. This is because in the first part, he educates you on an emotional perspective and in the latter sections he turns towards some technical aspects of the ailment. All-in-all, he tries to fill-up the void in enlightening the readers about not-much discussed condition but which definitely call for an attention. Read the work, to find out that what you or your known is experiencing is what happens with all and this is no-end, by any means. You just need to re-orient and re-align your energies and you will be back in action, only to move ahead! While others will get a soft hold on the emotions and get a chance to make promise to them i.e. to support the person in need with full grandeur. In the concluding section, he shares his own progress and sets an example to trust upon. With this attempt, he makes a thankful mention of one and all who had lend their support and laid faith in his capabilities.

Being a part of the struggle of a loved one, in his ongoing fight with Bipolar Disorder(BPD) , I could relate to several incidents in the book. It does give the reader an idea of the world, largely unknown otherwise. As a caregiver, it gives me strength to carry on. A must read for all, specially the caregivers. The author, Mr. Nallawala has done an immense service to the community of people affected directly and indirectly on account of BPD, by not only coming out with an honest account his own struggle but also starting 'Bipolar India'.

If any person or family knows anyone who suffers from such an affliction-mental illness-yes it just an illness like a physical illness-this book can be referenced -as the author has literally penned the deepest personal moments of his life -which visually speaks to the reader- from the beginning of the affliction with symptoms and the follow up-u can help yourself and anyone who is undergoing or has undergone such an affliction-and more so this book is from an INDIAN perspective which is reflective of INDIAN circumstances and conditions!!! Go for it !!![[ASIN:1482850516 A Bipolar's Journey: From Torment to Fulfillment

The author, Vijay Nallawala has done a great job in writing this book. I liked some of them chapters where he described Bipolar and suggested some remedies apart from medicine. He is very good at narrating and some the shortt anecdotes are very interesting and apt to the situation. He very clearly presented the torment his family felt due to bipolar. Overall, it is an interesting read !!

Not much strategies. Just a personal rant

Amazing Flow.. made me go through the whole journey.. when's the new book coming ????

Must read book. Not only for bipolar people, but for everyone. The book describes how it is important to overcome once fear of being failure. And how important it is to come out and accept once situation, it only gives you more courage to face harder challenges. Though it is author's journey, but i think anyone can relate to it when it is comes to being positive and strong, mentally as well as spiritually, in once life.

Beautifully written book. It is very evident that each sentence is right from your heart. Phenomenal work. I salute all those associated in helping you, getting thru it and most importantly you speaking about it openly. You are doing a BIG help to the society by openly speaking about it. God bless.
