About Me
- John McManamy
- I am an award-winning author and mental health journalist. I have been writing about mood disorders since being diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 1999, ranging from a website, an email newsletter, a book, articles for HealthCentral, and this blog. More recently, I have been producing videos. Writing about my illness has played a very strong role in my healing and recovery. Writing allows me to come to terms with my past, gives meaning to my present, and gives me the courage to face the future with hope.

It is a very useful articles and helps to diagonised the bipolar depression to youngs childs and suggest necessary steps to overcome it
I need help finding a neuropsycologist to diagnose my 12 year old son. We live in Grand Junction Colorado but are very willing to travel. Going through a really hard time and hope to get a reply. I seem to not be finding the right path to a professional in this field, but hope someone out there is listening.
Thank you for this article. I'm convinced more than ever that I am on the right track to properly diagnosing and helping my son, who will turn 7 next weekend. He's been diagnosed and treated for ADHD and PTSD. I know in my heart it's more than that, but the mental health professionals are wary of going down that road of BP dx at such an early age. I've decided that we are indeed already going down "that road", so now we need help navigating it.
I really appreciate your articles, John. They touch on so many of the issues we see with our 13 yr old daughter. She has been diagnosed with AD/HD since age 5 but as she has aged, it became more apparent that was not all that was at work. We are perhaps finally reaching a formal diagnosis of BiPolar after skirting the topic for several years. Years in which we as a family have just about come unglued. I found your articles informative and reassuring
Thank You,
