About
www.BipolarCentral.comBipolarCentral.com was created with love and compassion for people who are living or supporting a loved one with bipolar disorder. Plenty of information is available about the disorder but not much attention is given to those who live it on a daily basis despite not having the disease. David Oliver, founder of BipolarCentral.com, knows firsthand what it is like to live with a loved one who suffers from Bipolar Disorder. His mother had Bipolar Disorder her entire life.
Loved ones of those who suffer the disease often don’t know how to help cope with Bipolar Disorder. All too often it is left of to the person with Bipolar to seek out help alone. Most families don’t realize there are specifics actions they can do to help their loved one manage Bipolar Disorder. This is simply a lack of information; exactly what David Oliver decided to change.
He took time off from work for six months to devote all of his time, energy and money to learning everything he could about Bipolar Disorder. He talked to dozens of experts in the medical field, read almost every book available, attended support groups regularly and did everything else he could think of to find answers.
During his research, he learned that there simply weren't any books available to help individuals, like him, who are trying to support people who have bipolar disorder. He also realized that very few of the books available on bipolar disorder covered any of the topics that both survivors and supporters desperately need, such as information on reducing debt, restoring credit, finding doctors, buying homes, dealing with stress, etc.
As David continued learning more about the disorder, he began building the website so that it would provide usable information for anyone who is trying to deal with bipolar disorder. The site provides practical, common sense solutions for some of the real life situations faced while coping with Bipolar.
David’s goal with the site is not just to inform, but to prevent others from making the same mistakes that my family made. It took them almost thirty years to realize that his mother couldn't manage this disorder alone. It cost thousands of dollars because they simply didn't know what they were doing. David does not want to see anyone else go through what he went through, especially when simply having a plan to deal with the disorder can prevent it.
