Diagnosed with bipolar type one at seventeen, Oliver Seligman has battled with euphoric manias, suicidal depressions and bewildering psychoses, as well as the side effects of psychiatric medication. Having spent time in mental hospitals in Norway, Australia and the U.K, he has experienced a range of approaches to bipolar and has tried many forms of alternative treatment and a variety of medications. At one point, after four years of continuous depressions, psychoses and manias, it looked as if all was lost. However, by giving up the fight and learning to accept his illness, Oliver managed to turn his life and his relationship with bipolar around.

Oliver has written a book called Befriending Bipolar: a patient's perspective. This book gives a unique and engaging perspective on living with a mental illness; describing the euphoric highs, hellish depths and brutally confusing psychoses, as well as sharing what has worked for him and what hasn't. Befriending Bipolar is available on Amazon at: https://amzn.to/35kYQKW

For the last six years he has been well and able to enjoy a stable and fulfilling life. He now spends his time writing, giving inspirational talks on mental health and teaching people to find peace through meditation.
