Description

"All my life I had been known for my mind, and now the only thing I trusted was going out of control." That was the situation that confronted me when I was initially diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder. Seven years of medication, rehab and therapy had got me stable and functioning again. And then ... the illness came back. Following an explosive meltdown fueled by a relapse of my Bipolar Disorder, I found myself surrounded by shambles: of my home, my arranged marriage, and my life. Confused and frustrated, I saw no choice but to leave everything I knew behind and search for a better way to live. Having previously been misdiagnosed once, an error that had disastrous consequences, I was determined this time not just to control my illness, but also to truly understand and overcome it. From a village in my homeland of India to the mysterious Wudang Mountains in China, Warrior: The Bipolar Battle is the story of my three-year journey through five countries on three continents in my quest to understand my mind and my place in the universe. "To fight through life, survive, deal with unpleasant emotions and learn to live - that is the way of the warrior." Dark and emotional, yet filled with inspiration and hope, Warrior: The Bipolar Battle is a story of triumphing over adversity against all odds and realizing that no matter how dark it gets, no matter how low you fall, there is hope. There is a way out. "I am the Warrior. Bipolar is my enemy. This is my Battle!"

Author Biography:

Krish 'K. S.' Ram was born in Mumbai, India and grew up in the USA, where he earned Bachelors and Masters degrees from Purdue University. He spent many years in the corporate world, with a successful career in Sales and Marketing. Following a diagnosis of Bipolar Disorder in 2002, he was forced to take a two-year break from his career. After undergoing an intensive course of medication and therapy, he earned an MBA and resumed his career, only to face a relapse in 2009 that left him declared permanently disabled. Determined to understand his mind and his place in the universe, he walked away from everything he knew in order to find a better way to live. He eventually found three very different teachers, whose combined guidance helped him understand and manage his illness, while training him to control his mind and overcome fear. He knows now that, ultimately, life must be his final teacher, just as he knows his battle with Bipolar will never truly be over. A martial arts enthusiast, Krish currently teaches Tai Chi. An eternal student, he continues to research mental illness, and is on a never-ending quest to live a balanced, healthy and peaceful life filled with inspiration, hope and meaning. He is busy at work on his second book.
