Opis

Barbara Bate, PhD, knows about tsunamis. Living in the Pacific Northwest, she likens the threat of killer waves that engulf whole communities to the experiences of people who fear their own "tsunamis of the mind." Extreme changes of emotion and energy can be devastating to the person who is living through them and to others who are close to them. Many people hide their symptoms from their closest friends and loved ones due to stigma and shame. Maybe you are experiencing an inner tsunami, confused by what is happening, and ashamed to ask for help. If you feel alone in this struggle, Barbara Bate assures you that this is not the case. She will introduce you to a courageous community of people who have shared your struggle and are in recovery. Join Barbara, a survivor of the emotional pain from a brain-based disorder, as she converses candidly with a wide spectrum of individuals. All of them have experienced severe depression and bipolar conditions. Nearly all of them have attempted suicide before finding effective help and support. Their stories offer hope to those who suffer and to those who struggle to understand them. Tsunami of the Mind exemplifies the power of knowledge and community to change minds-and save lives.
