AUGUST WEBINAR
Deva Lipson Finding Balance in an Unbalanced World August 13, 2013 at 11:00 am PST. A native Boston, born 60 years ago, Deva Lipson is a bipolar survivor who has become a missionary against the twisted existence the disease can cause. She goes wherever in the county to talk to service clubs, schools, anyone with ears to loan about the disease that for years pinned her life like a beetle - how to understand it and how to survive it. She especially wants to help remove the stigma. Her teaching syllabus is her own life.
Lipson graduated Bridgewater State College with her BA in Journalism. She has once resided in Israel on a kibbutz, working in the fields and loving the whole experience, and enjoyed a 2 month stay in London and Holland. During the 80's, Deva studied holistic healing, taught meditation and in 2001, became certified as a hypno-therapist from International Association of Counselors & Therapists.
Now, Lipson now resides back in San Diego, where she volunteers her time with National Alliance for Mental Illness and became a member of Universal Spirit Center in Hillcrest.

Teens and young adults who suffer from mental illness can feel hopeless and alone. Many don't know what's wrong with them but feel like it's their fault. Those who understand what is happening fear they can't be helped. Because of the stigma attached to mental illness, it's often hard for those suffering and their families and friends to talk about what they're going through. But help is available, and it works.
The goal of OK2TALK is to create a community for teens and young adults struggling with mental health problems and encourage them to talk about what they're experiencing by sharing their personal stories of recovery, tragedy, struggle or hope. Anyone can add their voice by sharing creative content such as poetry, inspirational quotes, photos, videos, song lyrics and messages of support in a safe, moderated space. We hope this is the first step towards getting help and feeling better.
THE COMMITMENT OF THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF BROADCASTERS
The National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) is committed to using the power of its broadcast megaphone to educate Americans on mental health-a critical issue that impacts all of us. Broadcasters have a powerful voice in this country that they use to inform, entertain and educate. NAB's local television and radio stations, broadcast networks and entertainment industry partners have joined together to get the word out by supporting OK2TALK. The campaign includes TV and radio PSAs that will run nationwide to open the door for more in-depth conversations about mental health in schools, the workplace, families and among friends.
NAB President and CEO Gordon Smith's own family has been profoundly affected by mental illness. His 22-year-old son, Garrett, took his own life in 2003, after a long struggle with depression. A former senator from Oregon, Gordon and his wife, Sharon, hope that encouraging conversation about mental illness helps other families from meeting the same fate. They believe that had they known the signs, and sought help and treatment for Garrett earlier, their son would still be alive today. A year after Garrett's death, President George W. Bush signed the Garrett Lee Smith Memorial Act, authorizing $82 million in grants to help prevent suicide by young people. Among the programs the funds were earmarked for mental health screenings in schools. Gordon and Sharon hope that by sharing Garrett's story they can help bring this issue out of the shadows and into the light through open and honest conversation.

My Story: After 'The Informant!'
By Stephanie Stephens [excerpt] Mark Whitacre could never have enough-education, money, cars, or prestige. Then, through a series of events that became fodder for two books and a movie, his world of power and privilege blew apart. As told in the movie The Informant! (based on the book by journalist Kurt Eichenwald), Whitacre spent three years as a mole for the Federal Bureau of Investigation, gathering evidence about a price-fixing conspiracy at agriculture behemoth Archer Daniels Midland (ADM). Yet he was also embezzling more than $9 million dollars from the company-a fact that ADM revealed when the FBI investigation hit the news. Along the way, Whitacre's behavior became ever more delusional. He lied to his FBI handlers and then to the media. He turned down a lenient deal with the U.S. Department of Justice, only to end up with a much longer prison sentence for fraud and tax evasion. On March 4, 1998, he swapped a 13,000-square-foot home in Decatur, Illinois, for a 10-by-10-foot prison cell. "Only a person with untreated bipolar disorder would have done some of the things I did," he explained in a talk earlier this year at an International Bipolar Foundation event in La Jolla, California.
Now Whitacre, 56, is all about second chances. After his release from prison in 2006, he reunited with his wife and re-established his career in biotechnology. He also reaches out to at-risk youth, counsels prison inmates who have psychiatric disorders, and does what he can to fight stigma. Whitacre has become a seasoned speaker, giving presentations on business ethics or faith-based talks about redemption. He only rarely addresses mental illness, as he did in La Jolla. His luncheon speech touched on topics still charged with emotion. Whitacre broke into tears several times during the painfully personal expos� of his journey from woe to "go!" At other moments, though, he exuded a magnetic confidence about who he's grown to be and what he's still going to accomplish with the help of his family, friends and faith.

Welcome our newest blogger; SpencerMy name is Spencer and I am a new blogger for International Bipolar Foundation. I recently graduated from Trinity College, obtaining my BS in Psychology and completing the Interarts track as well as the Pre-med track. I am interested in pursuing a career in psychological research and possibly exploring the benefits of art therapy. I want my blog to focus on art and bipolar disorder. Ever since I was able I have been drawing, playing viola, singing, writing poetry, acting and entertaining myself through the arts. I find that art transcends boundaries and can evoke a sense of connection between the artist and the viewer. I am confident in my abilities to interpret and bring interesting art to my blog.
My interest in bipolar disorder, however, is not from experience but from learning about the disorder through psychology courses. Kay Jamison's memoir "An Unquiet Mind" initially piqued my interest in bipolar disorder. Her book helped me understand the struggle she experienced to retain her own identity while remaining at a safe level of stability. The inherent poetry of the book also attracted me to learning more about bipolar disorder.

Troubled Minds: Mental Illness and the Church's Mission by Amy Simpson Mental illness is the sort of thing we don't like to talk about. It doesn't reduce nicely to simple solutions and happy outcomes. So instead, too often we reduce people who are mentally ill to caricatures and ghosts, and simply pretend they don't exist. They do exist, however-statistics suggest that one in four people suffer from some kind of mental illness. And then there are their friends and family members, who bear their own scars and anxious thoughts, and who see no safe place to talk about the impact of mental illness on their lives and their loved ones. Many of these people are sitting in churches week after week, suffering in stigmatized silence.
In Troubled Minds Amy Simpson, whose family knows the trauma and bewilderment of mental illness, reminds us that people with mental illness are our neighbors and our brothers and sisters in Christ, and she shows us the path to loving them well and becoming a church that loves God with whole hearts and whole souls, with the strength we have and with minds that are whole as well as minds that are troubled.
One Green Bottle by Debra Ann Nixon One Green Bottle is a fictionalised account of one woman's experience with mental illness and the rigours of her treatment through the South African psychiatric services. The novel deals with the painful effects that mental illness can have on family life and presents a vivid picture of daily life in a South African psychiatric facility.
Through the Withering Storm by Leif Gregersen This is a book written about my life growing up with bipolar disorder. It closely follows my extensive travels, my days as an Air Cadet, days as a pilot, and the horrible experiences of being locked up in a mental hospital.
Not Alone: Reflections on Faith and Depression Paperback by Monica A Coleman The author speaks from the heart as minister, woman, friend, professional, and person who lives with depression. This 40-day devotional offers a tool that guides the reader back to faith through personal exploration and experiences of strength, hope, love and spirit.
Strength for His People: A Ministry for Families of the Mentally Ill by Rev. Steven Waterhouse Waterhouse is one of the pioneers in educating clergy and congregations about mental illness. He spoke at the NAMI national convention at the NAMI FaithNet networking session. Waterhouse's book explains mental illness from a Biblical worldview. It may serve as a guide for Christian counselors working with schizophrenia and related problems such as depression, why God allows suffering, mental illness vs. demon possession, and other topics helpful to families of faith.
The Agony and Ecstasy of the Bipolar Mind by Joy A. Paz In "The Agony and Ecstasy of the Bipolar Mind," Joy A. Paz chronicles her journey with her husband to live healthily, meaningfully and faithfully despite both having severe bipolar disorder. Blending personal anecdotes with extensive research she's gathered over the years, Paz defines the differences between manic and depressive psychosis, while also including describing alternative treatments, drug therapy and psychiatry methods for bipolar disorder. "I was so motivated with passion and drive to find out everything I could about the root of our disorder," says Paz. The book depicts the startling realities the couple faced as Paz struggled to manage her mania and her husband suffered from severe depression. "I experienced the ecstasy in life and my husband experienced the agony," Paz says. "This book shows how faith guided, sustained and blessed us throughout our lives."
