Why are you here?

Bipolar symptoms can feel overwhelming and disrupt every part of your life—from your relationships to even your sense of self. For decades, heated debates around treatment have created confusion and stigma towards mental health leaving people feeling isolated, discouraged, and hopeless. But you don’t have to continue suffering. Recovery is possible and there is a path forward.

You are not alone—and there is help.

Healing bipolar symptoms follows a similar path as recovering from addiction. Understanding the Recovery Cycle can help anyone: men, women, teens, & young adults, take control of their habits and patterns in order to recover and heal.

The Simple 7 Healing Protocol and the Recovery Cycle is your path to living a healthy life.

Can I be honest with you? 
I shouldn’t have had to figure this out for myself. 

It’s not like any of these tools are unresearched or undiscovered! I should have been handed a treatment program and been guided through it step by step. But that didn’t happen. Instead I spent 12 years after my diagnosis suffering through every downside this disorder dished out, including suicide attempts. I tried everything I was told: from hospitalizations to electro-convulsive therapy. The Works. 

After failure upon failure, I spent the next 10 years studying from the best researchers and scientists on this subject; figuring out and testing the Simple 7 Healing Protocol. And now? I don’t have mood cycles anymore. I don’t struggle with the whiplash of mania into depression. I healed my mind and body.

And you can too. 

The Upside of Bipolar: Seven Steps to Heal Your Disorder is the raw account of Michelle Reittinger’s journey to full recovery and provides a clear, actionable blueprint of the integrated treatment model that can guide others toward healing their bipolar symptoms.
 
When Michelle was diagnosed with bipolar disorder at twenty-four, she found herself on a harrowing roller-coaster of erratic mood swings, multiple psychiatrists, and a cocktail of psychiatric drugs. After a devastating breakdown, numerous hospitalizations, suicide attempts, and hopelessness, she believed that her family would be better off without her.

But then, Michelle discovered the crucial first step toward recovery and, through relentless effort, crafted an integrated, research-based treatment plan that ultimately led to her complete recovery.
