2.02 Oliver Seligman, author of Befriending Bipolar, shares his battle and balance with Lithium and learning to 'Befriend Bipolar'
Never for one second did Oliver Seligman think he would become a writer. Graduating from University in 1998 with a Zoology degree, he ended up working in London and New York as a sales trader in an investment bank. However, his cunning plan to make millions and live happily ever after, didn't work out. Bipolar caught up with him and he quit his fast paced job. He then became a monk who travels the world writing, coaching and giving inspirational talks.
In Oliver's latest book, "Befriending bipolar: a patient's perspective," he describes what it is like to experience madness from the inside. Diagnosed with bipolar type one at seventeen, he has battled euphoric manias, suicidal depressions, bewildering psychoses and the side effects of medication for nearly thirty years. In Befriending Bipolar, Oliver tells the story of how he has found peace with an illness that destroys lives and sometimes ends them.
