Bipolar Disorder Does Not Have to Be a Life Sentence. Your Child or Teen CAN Still Be a Happy, Successful and Productive Member of Society

FR: David Oliver

RE: Helping your child or teen cope with bipolar disorder

Dear Fellow Bipolar Supporter,

If you’re supporting a child with bipolar disorder, this will be the most important website you’ve ever found.

Because I’m going to reveal exactly how you can get a full arsenal of proven coping strategies and techniques to help your child successfully live with bipolar.

This is information your doctors can’t (or won’t) give you. Information you won’t find at the library or bookstore. And information that you desperately need if you want your child to truly have a shot at doing all the things “normal” kids expect to do, like:

• Making and keeping friends
• Being able to participate in sports and other extracurricular activities
• Getting along well with siblings and the rest of your family
• Completing homework assignments correctly and on time
• Studying for and taking tests
• Getting good grades in school
• Being able to set and achieve goals
• Graduating from high school … and even going on to attend college or a trade school
• Landing a good job with benefits and a decent salary
• Dating responsibly
• Falling in love
• Being able to manage money and pay bills on time
• Buying a house
• Having a family

I know you want your child to achieve those dreams. But right now, they seem out of reach, don’t they?

Believe me, I know. Because two years ago, I was standing in your shoes.

I was typing the phrase “bipolar disorder” into every search engine on the Internet just hoping to find a magic solution that would end my nightmare.

I read through website after website trying to track down answers. I searched for reasons, guidance, even just someone to talk to. All I found was the same old rehashed information on bipolar disorder … nothing useful. And certainly nothing that told me how to help a child cope with bipolar.

It was incredibly frustrating. I was literally at the end of my rope … because every day seemed like one long, never-ending bad dream that I couldn't wake up from.

You see, my mother, who has had bipolar since she was born, was in the middle of a major bipolar episode … probably the worst she had ever experienced. And I had stepped in to be her primary supporter. All of the days of abuse, yelling, and screaming had taken their toll on me (the same feeling you’ve probably had with taking care of your child).

The Internet was just the start for me. I devoured everything I could find at the library, including boring, technical medical journals and dozens of books. I tracked down every bipolar expert I could find, in all disciplines … from physician, to therapist, to pharmacist and beyond. And during my 8-month journey, I went from knowing nothing about her disorder and having NO idea how to help her … to becoming an expert who has been able to help her stay stable.

And after my months of research … I can tell you one thing for sure: if you’re supporting a child with bipolar, you have a better chance of winning one of those multi-state lotteries than of finding the information you need to help your child cope with bipolar.

Because nearly all of the limited information that is available is geared toward adults with bipolar. And most of that info is produced by doctors and professors who have a clinical relationship with bipolar disorder – not by people who are living with the disorder day in and day out.

But you don’t need cold, clinical theories from physicians who spent a few hours a day tending children with bipolar. You need coping strategies that work … from people who walked in your shoes day in, day out.

Here’s the second thing I can tell you for sure: if you don’t get your hands on proven coping strategies – and soon – your child may end up without an education … unable to hold down a job … homeless … addicted to drugs … sexually promiscuous … even suicidal.

Want proof? Let me tell you how my family has been affected by my mom’s bipolar … and her parents’ inability and/or unwillingness to help her find ways to cope with the illness.

Years Of Ignoring My Mother’s Illness

During most of my life, my family didn't talk about my mother's illness. We didn't plan what to do if she went into another episode. We didn't talk to her doctor. We didn't educate ourselves about the illness. We simply pretended it didn't exist.

In fact, no one in my house, not even me, used the word “bipolar” for the last 28 years.

When my mom went into an episode, we just sat back and hoped that she'd either get over it on her own or that her doctor would make it all better.

It Started Late One Spring

Near the end of spring two years ago, I started to notice that my mom was acting different. I could see changes in her, but I didn't say anything about it because we didn't talk about my mom's illness. Slowly, those changes became more obvious.

In November, my mom was really bad. She was yelling, screaming, and getting incredibly mad at everyone who came near her. After a little investigating, I found out that she was also missing days of work.

Even without talking about it, I knew that she was sick again. She was in a major “episode,” and it was getting worse, not better.

The Mother of All Episodes

My mother has had four major episodes. Those are the kind of episodes where she has to be hospitalized for more than 10 days. Based on my calculations, that was one major episode every 7 years or so.

This time wasn't like those episodes; it was much worse.

My mother had turned into a completely different person. She wouldn't eat or sleep. She only yelled, screamed, and said extremely hurtful things to my father and me. Since my brother doesn't like to deal with the problem, he never made himself available, if you know what I mean.

For about a month, my mom was on this rampage. She missed many days of work and finally stopped going altogether. Even then, she would call her job at least 6 to 8 times a day. She would also call family members and friends just to say mean things to them. I can't tell you how many people she alienated in just that short period of time.

The Lies Started

If that wasn't bad enough, my mom then started to make things up. She would tell people that I said this or that my dad had said that when in reality, we hadn't said anything of the sort. She'd tell me that other people had told her things which I found out was completely not true. It was so bad that we couldn't tell when she was telling the truth or telling a lie.

I Got Fed Up

One day after she screamed at me for about an hour, I started to get really mad (but not at her, though).

I was mad that I didn't know what was wrong with her.

I was mad that it didn't seem like anything could help her.

I was mad that no one in my family was doing anything except pretending the problem would fix itself.

And I was mad that I didn't have any information – I didn't even know the correct name for what she had. My family had always just called it “manic depression,” even though that term hadn't been used in years.

I Decided It Was Time For My Mother to Go The Hospital

I finally decided that she needed to go to the hospital. Of course, she refused. She screamed that she was fine. She told me that I needed to go to the hospital, not her. She insisted that all of her “supporters” said she would get better at home. She called me a “terrible son” and demanded that I “get out” of her life “forever.”

And that was just the beginning. She continued to swear at me and to throw everything she could get her hands on at me. She repeatedly demanded that I leave the house and leave her alone because she never wanted to see me again.

For the next four weeks, my mom continued to stay in the house instead of going to the hospital. Initially, I thought about following my brother's lead and pretending that there was no problem. I could just close my eyes, cross my fingers, and hope that everything would work itself out.

But I couldn't do that. You see, my dad has quite a few health problems, including congestive heart failure, diabetes, high blood pressure, etc. I was worried that my mom's screaming would cause him to eventually have a heart attack.

To protect my dad's health, I spoke to my mom every morning so that she could scream and yell at me for at least an hour. EVERY DAY for 4 straight weeks she screamed at me every morning and again when I called her at night. For about two hours a day, I let her scream at me so I could divert at least some of her anger away from my dad.

The Doctor Didn’t Have a Clue

After searching for awhile, I was able to find the name of my mom's doctor. We'd never talked to him or about him, so we'd also never learned his name or his number (which was one of my family's big mistakes).

When I did talk to the doctor, he didn't have a clue. He didn't know that my mom was “that bad.” He said that he was trying to regulate her medicine, and I asked, “How are you going to know when her medicine was right?”

Do you know what he said? He said, “I'll ask her.”

Can you imagine asking a mentally ill person to determine whether or not their medication is effective? He was a moron!

I asked him many other questions, too, but he didn't have any answers. He couldn't give me one single answer!

He made me so angry that I finally said, “Let's start over again and let me ask you some warm-up questions like “What's your name?” and “What state do you live in?'”

Of course, that made him mad. It also made me realize that he was part of the problem, not part of the solution.

I Went to the Library

Since her doctor didn't know anything, I decided to visit a large library in my area to find some answers. When I went in, I felt nervous about asking the reference librarian for help finding information on “manic depression.” I was convinced she was going to run from me or give me some weird look because I truly thought that people frowned on any discussion of mental illness.

Thankfully, I was wrong. Everyone in the library was very helpful. That wasn't the problem.

The problem was that there weren't very many books on manic depression or bipolar disorder. There were zillions of books on losing weight, gardening, cooking, and living with other health problems … but there were no books on how to cope with someone who has bipolar disorder.

The books I did find I spent most of the time talking about why people have bipolar disorder, but they never talked about the kinds of issues I was facing with my mom … such as how to get someone into treatment, how to get them out of debt, how to prevent them from losing their job, etc.

Plus, most of the books about bipolar disorder were too technical to be easily understood or were written by people with bipolar for people with bipolar. Neither type of book was helpful to me, so there was a huge gap in the knowledge base.

That's why I started finding other sources of information. I read articles, college textbooks, and similar materials. Plus, I started finding support groups.

After about 20 days of MASSIVE research, I finally could say that I had a handle on the situation and could identify most of the mistakes my family had made during the last 30 years.

However, I didn't stop there. Over the next few months, I started interviewing doctors, therapists, hospital workers, social workers, and bipolar individuals. I attended support groups and started compiling information, making notes, and creating checklists. As I was doing all of this, my main goal was to NEVER repeat what was happening to my mom.

I Decided To Learn Everything There Was To Know

After that, I took off 6 months from work in order to drive all over my state on a quest to learn everything that I could about bipolar disorder. I attended support groups and interviewed people. I spent and lost an incredible amount of money because I had to pay most of these people to talk to me … and because I wasn't able to take care of my own business.

Surprisingly, I ran into MANY parents supporting not only adults with bipolar … but also children at the same time. I learned many techniques I knew I wouldn’t need for my mom. But I took extensive notes anyway and filed them away.

All of my research was well worth it. Here's how it’s helped my mom:

The difference this information has made in my life and in my family's life has been amazing. Helping my mom is so much easier these days. I only wish I had found all of this out years ago.

Although my story has a positive ending, I met many people, particularly parents, during my research whose stories were not ending well. So many of them were desperate to find some answers that would help their child, but no one knew what to tell them because very few people had ever actually taken the time to do research on bipolar disorder in children.

Which of These Questions Are You Desperate to Answer?

They were struggling to answer questions like:

• “What is bipolar disorder exactly … and did I do something that caused this?”
   
• “Why has it been so hard to get an accurate diagnosis?”
   
• “What can I do as a parent to help my child beat this disorder?”
   
• “How do I find a good doctor?”
   
• “What are the options for treating my child’s bipolar disorder?”
   
• “Does my child really need to be medicated for bipolar?”
   
• “Our medical bills are skyrocketing – how will we ever be able to manage these costs?”
   
• “What are the signs that my child is going to have an bipolar episode soon … and is there anything I can do to head it off?”
   
• “What special challenges am I going to face while raising a child with bipolar?”
   
• “How can I ensure my child gets a good education … and is public school the right choice?”
   
• “How do I know if my child really belongs in a residential treatment program?”
   
• “How on earth am I going to explain this diagnosis to my child?”
   
• “Who will take care of my child after I die?”
   
• “How can I help my child make friends?”
   
• “What can I do to handle the stress of being a supporter?”
   
• “Is there anything I can do now to ensure my child can be independent at age 18?”

I know how much pain can result from not having answers or solutions … and how much damage bipolar disorder could do to an adult who never had the right information before. I realized that almost everything that had happened to my mom could have been prevented if her parents had known more about her disorder and about how to help her.

So I made myself a second goal: to become an expert on childhood bipolar disorder. With the information I learned, I would be able to help other families prevent their children from facing the tremendous obstacles my mother has had to overcome and they could ensure that their kids had the best start in life possible.

How My Pain Will Be Your Gain

Even after those six months were over, I kept going to support groups and talking to people who had bipolar disorder. When they heard that I had done all of this research and that I was helping my mom, they started asking for my help, too. So I did. Some of them even suggested that I write a book because they knew, like I did, that there simply wasn't enough good information out there.

One of my friends finally said, “Dave, don't you think it's your duty to share what you know with other people so they don't have to suffer like you did?”

That made me think. The truth is I would have done ANYTHING to get all of the information I now have when I was first dealing with my mom's episode. If I could have had everything in some type of course or book or audio tape, then things would have been so much easier for me, my dad … even my mom.

That's why I put together my original Bipolar Supporter’s Course, which was filled with all of the tips, tricks, and secrets that people, just like you, were able to use to support their childs who were battling bipolar disorder.

A lot of people got that course, and they LOVED it, but some of them also wanted more. Some of these people had children and teenagers who had bipolar disorder, and they needed additional help and other types of strategies because the disorder is different in young people than in adults. For that reason, I put together a focus group to discuss exactly what information people needed to know in order to help their children and their families deal with bipolar disorder.

Introducing The Bipolar Supporter’s Course - Children and Teenager Edition

As a result of that focus group, I put together The Bipolar Supporter's Course — Children and Teenager Edition. To gather all of the information I needed for this course, I interviewed a TON of people who had successfully supported children who had bipolar disorder. These were people who had lived through the nightmare, but who had survived. These were people who weren't going to tell me a bunch of theories about how to support children who have bipolar; these were people who had learned what techniques work – and don't work – through a difficult trial and error process.

As I was compiling the information for The Bipolar Supporter's Course — Children and Teenager Edition, I realized that the same information may not be right for everyone and since I want to help as many people as possible, I created three versions of the The Bipolar Supporter's Course — Children and Teenager Edition. That way you can pick the one that best suits your family’s needs and budget.

Master Resource #7 & 8 – 2 Bipolar Explanation Guides

You probably already know that not everyone truly understands what your child and your family is going through with bipolar disorder. There are a lot of people who just aren't interested in learning the facts, who are confused about what the disorder really is, or who get angry at your child for their bipolar behavior.

That's why I spent five weeks writing a supplemental guide, which explains bipolar disorder to those people. This isn’t the same type of boring guide you'd find in a hospital or doctor's office. This guide was specifically designed to help other people learn the truth about bipolar disorder, not just its symptoms and treatments.

For example, in this guide, you'll learn:

• Powerful true stories about bipolar disorder from the people who lived them
   
• Testimonials from survivors and supporters
   
• Explanations about why people should support you if you are supporting a child (as you may know some people start to back away from you)
   
• Discussions about why people should never turn their backs on bipolar disorder even when children get very difficult
   
• Answers to angry or mad people’s frequently asked questions. These are taken straight from people who I interviewed who wanted nothing to do with someone who has bipolar disorder. This is truly amazing.
   
• Plus, you'll get the story of a man who has bipolar disorder who tried to commit suicide but turned his life around with the support of his family and friends (this is designed to get the reader to see how important their support is for your child and for you).

This guide was designed to help anyone, especially your angry friends and family members who have backed away from your family, to understand bipolar disorder and to offer their help and support to you. The guide was carefully crafted so it will turn around an individual who may have wanted absolutely, positively nothing to do with bipolar disorder. (Sounds extreme, I know, but it’s a depressingly common situation. If you’re surprised to hear that this happens, count yourself very lucky.)

When you hand this guide to someone and they read through it, you'll be able to watch them literally change their attitude toward the disorder and towards your child. They'll want to help you!

You'll receive 2 of these guides, and you can give them to whoever you think the information will help the most: your child's teacher, your family members, your child's siblings, your child's friends' parents, etc.

"The information you send is very informative, I know a lot more about bipolar than I did and have a better understanding on what my son is going through and how I can help him...you don't miss a beat when it comes to truly helpful information."

--Jenny C., Aberdeen, Washington

FREE Gift #4: [For Masters Package Only] – Special Report: “How to Get Out of Debt From Supporting A Child With Bipolar Disorder If You Are In It”

Studies and my own independent research illustrate that most people who are supporting a child who has bipolar disorder run into problems with their bills and with debt. That's why I put together this report to show you how I helped my mother get on the track to getting out of debt.

During her last episode (the one that lead to the creation of The Bipolar Supporter's Course — Children and Teenager Edition), my mom had a stack of bills in her bedroom that was three feet across and 4 inches high. Going through all of those bills was a massive undertaking. Helping her gave me knowledge that can help anyone – even people without bipolar disorder – get out of debt without having to file bankruptcy.

So you can use this information first to help your family and to prepare your child to have a debt-free adulthood. And then you can use it to help yourself or your other family members who may also need it.

FREE Gift #5: [For Masters Package Only] – Special Report: “How To Find A Doctor & Therapist Fast And Get A Qualified Doctor And/OR Therapist To Call YOU”

Remember when I said that my mom's old doctor didn't have answers to the questions he asked about bipolar disorder? Well, after that, we had to get a new doctor. The bad part was there weren't any that we knew of. Even the hospital treating her had to struggle to give us a good referral. My father even worriedly said, “There just aren't any good doctors in our area covered by our insurance.”

Well, I wasn't about to give up, so I invented an entirely new way to get high-quality doctors and therapists to contact YOU. It's really an incredible system, and it worked wonders for my family. My mom has a great doctor now who helped turn around her condition faster than they could have ever hoped for.

When you have a child with bipolar disorder, it can be even more difficult to find qualified doctors and therapists, but they are out there … and with this method you will find them. Having the right medical professionals on your child's side is the first step to improving their health and their stability.

FREE Gift #6: [For Masters Package Only] – Special Report: “How to Get Help From Your Local, State, and Federal Governments When A Child Has Bipolar Disorder”

So many people don’t realize that there is help available for people with bipolar disorder if they know where to look. This report will show you the tips, tricks, and secrets to getting FREE help from the government so that you can help your child to get their bipolar disorder under control. You will be amazed at this unbelievable legal and ethical loophole in “the system.”

FREE Gift #7: [For Masters Package Only] – “How To Help Your Child Get Through School”

One of the most difficult things you are going to find is how to help your child get through school. In this report, you'll learn what steps you need to take now to ensure that your child receives the education he or she deserves. You'll learn how to deal with teachers, school administrators, parents, and others who will come in contact with your child regularly but who have little knowledge of bipolar disorder or of what your family is going through.

FREE Gift #8: [For Masters Package Only] – Special Report: “The Best and Worst Credit Cards For Those Dealing With Bipolar Disorder”

While your child may not have access to credit cards now, it's a good idea to start learning early – and to start teaching him or her – which credit cards to avoid at all costs. My family found out the hard way with my mom that all credit cards are not created equal. Those differences may not matter to most people, but when you are dealing with bipolar disorder they are significant. This report will help prevent your family and your child from developing credit problems or from making them worse.

FREE Gift #9: [For Masters Package Only] - One Question Certificate

The truth is that no book, manual, or course has ever been able to answer every possible question. That’s why you get this question certificate, which you can use by faxing, emailing, or mailing your question to me. Once I receive it, I’ll be able to get right back to you with an answer. Make sure to include your telephone number because in many cases it's easier to discuss the answers over the phone than through email.

I’m willing to give you personal attention because I know from experience that it's great to talk to someone who is knowledgeable about bipolar disorder, especially someone who has been where you are now. (My only stipulation is that I am NOT a doctor or lawyer, so you CANNOT ask medical OR legal questions. Any other questions are completely fine.)

FREE Gift #10: [For Masters Package Only] - Support Plan Critique

Part of conquering bipolar disorder is planning. You need a solid support plan in place so that you'll be ready to tackle any problem that comes up with your child quickly and easily. Not only have I helped my mother to develop her own support plan, but I’ve also helped countless other people to create plans for themselves and/or their loved ones.

With this free gift, I’ll review your support plan and send you a personal, detailed critique of that plan with tips and suggestions for making it even stronger. With my help and a solid plan, you will be able to get your child on the path to a stable and productive life.

FREE Gift #11: [For Masters Package Only] - "A Primer on Depression And Bipolar Disorder"

At this moment, your child doesn't think you or anyone else knows what he or she is going through. And they're right. No matter how close you are to your child or how many times you witness their erratic behavior, it is still extremely difficult for you to know what it is like for them to be experiencing bipolar disorder.

Because of this feeling of isolation, many children with bipolar disorder grow up to be bipolar adults who have a hard time coping with the disorder, with society, and with themselves. The only way you can prevent that from happening is to get a glimpse of exactly what it is like for your child and what it will be like for them as an adult if they don't get this disorder under control.

That's why this “instructional autobiography” is so important. You'll read the true story of one man’s bipolar journey. You'll be with him as he gets diagnosed and as he battles his manic and depressive episodes. You'll also learn about his suicide attempt and his path back to a productive life.

This manual won't only provide you with an insider's view of bipolar disorder, but it will also give you a sense of hope for both you and your child because, as you'll see from his story, it's never too late to turn things around.

FREE Gift #12: [For Masters Package Only] - “Depression and Spiritual Growth”

I freely admit that it hasn’t been easy for me to help my mother overcome her episodes. It’s even more difficult to do with a child, but the effort is well worth the reward. Your child will be on the path to stability and to a happy, successful life.

This guide will show what life could be like for your child if you aren't successful now. In it you'll meet a man whose bipolar disorder was so severe that he almost took his own life. His manic and depressive episodes were so severe that he literally could not function day to day. His bipolar episodes damaged his relationships, his chances for success in his career, and his plans for the future.

Despite the severity of his episodes, he managed to regain control of his life and to turn things around. This same man is now able to hold down a stressful job and maintain a stable life. He'll share with you how he did it. His experience and advice can help you get your child back on the right track for a productive future.

FREE Gift #13: [For Masters Package Only] -The Pattern of Lying In Bipolar Disorder

Lying is something that most parents have to deal with at some point with their children. But when your child has bipolar disorder, lying can become one of the biggest obstacles to effectively supporting him or her. Few people want to talk about this aspect of bipolar disorder, but the truth is that even the most honest person will tell lies when they are in an episode. Some of these lies are enormous and can have serious ramifications for your child and your family.

This report will help you determine whether or not your child has already been lying to you and will also give you concrete advice on how to combat those lies for the sake of your child's health and your family's well-being.

FREE Gift #15: [For Masters Package Only] -"What You Need To Know About The Holidays And Bipolar Disorder"

In most families, holidays are a time for celebrating. In a home with a child that has bipolar disorder, holidays can turn into disasters. Christmas, Thanksgiving, even birthdays, can all be ruined by your child's bipolar disorder if you're not careful. In this report, I go through everything you need to know in order to deal with the holidays and bipolar disorder. You’ll also get some specific steps that you can take to prevent your child from going into an episode that might destroy your family's holiday celebrations.

FREE Gift #16: [For Masters Package Only] - "Dealing With Difficult Spouses Or Ex-Spouses When Your Child Has A Mental Disorder”

Supporting a child with a mental illness is difficult enough without having to constantly battle your spouse (or ex-spouse) about how the disorder will be treated – or even whether it will be treated at all. (Sadly, some parents refuse to acknowledge their child’s illnesses … making it nearly impossible to cope with the disorder successfully).

This special report will give you techniques and actions you can use to make certain your child receives the proper treatment and can follow the doctor's orders to allow proper management of their mental disorder. You’ll discover:

• The sometimes-surprising reasons why your child’s other parent may be fighting the diagnosis and treatment
• The first thing you must do if you ever hope to win your (ex) spouse’s support
• Why it’s especially critical when dealing with an uncooperative parent that your child be properly diagnosed
• How to scare your (ex) spouse into supporting your child’s treatment (warning: this technique works only if your spouse is a good parent who wants the best for your child)
• The best action you can take to protect your child and limit the stress he/she is exposed to
• Why talking to your (ex)spouse may be the worst thing you can do to help your child
• How to prepare your doctor for dealing with your uncooperative (ex) spouse
• The three outsiders who can be your best allies in persuading the problem parent to support your child’s treatments
• The best alternative to an expensive, time-wasting court battle over your child’s medical care
• 11 techniques for finding an experienced attorney who can use the legal system to assure your (ex) spouse is complying with your child’s prescribed treatment plan

FREE Gift #17: [For Masters Package Only] -"How to Report Bad Doctors"

Have you had a really bad experience with a physician, psychiatrist or doctor of another kind … like my family did with my mother’s original physician (the moron who was asking her – a patient with bipolar – whether her meds were correct)? Did you want to let others know about the bad experience but didn't know how? This report will provide you with the techniques you can use to alert others of bad doctors so they will not have to have the same type of bad experiences.

Inside this valuable report, you’ll discover:

• What truly makes a doctor “bad”
• The hands-down most important thing you should do FIRST if you’ve been the victim of life-threatening malpractice
• The 10 best organizations to contact if you want to protect other families coping with bipolar from bad doctors

One of the best ways you can ensure that you end up with a good doctor … and steer clear of the ones who will waste your time and even endanger your child’s health

"My Daughter has a by polar type problem i purchased and sent the tapes to her and her support group, mother in law, and mother. They all listen and share info from them. They like that they don't go on for hours and easy to assimilate."

Priceless Advice from the Leading Bipolar Experts and Bipolar Survivors … for Less than $1 a Day

If you’re like most parents I’ve met in bipolar support groups, you don’t want to waste a single minute in the rush to find help for your child. And you’d rather spend your time with your child than cooped up at the library or on the computer wading through thousands of pages of information in search for the tiniest scrap of helpful information.

That’s why The Bipolar Supporter's Course — Children and Teenager Edition makes such a smart investment. It compiles the very best thinking and information available today on how to best help children with bipolar successfully cope with the illness. It gives you access to some of the top experts on bipolar disorder (access you and I would probably never be able to get on our own). And it offers you hope and inspiration by introducing you to people who are so adept at managing their bipolar that it’s almost like living with a cold, rather than one of the most devastating mental illnesses around.

Take another quick look at everything you get when you request your own risk-free copy of The Bipolar Supporter's Course — Children and Teenager Edition today.

You get up to $1816 worth of practical resources that are crammed full of techniques that have been proven to help children successfully live with bipolar disorder.

These are techniques that I painstakingly researched and tested during the six-month sabbatical I took from my job to help my mother recover from a major bipolar episode. I spent more than $3200 out of pocket to find and interview experts, research the techniques and WHAT – not to mention absorbing a more than $55,000 loss of income because my mother required around the clock care.

I know that most families don’t have the luxury of having one person be devoted to full-time, around-the-clock care of a child with bipolar disorder … much less spend more than $4300 and six months researching the best treatment and coping options available. Because I’m committed to helping other families avoid the painful struggles, stress and frustration that my family experienced, I’m also committed to keeping the price of The Bipolar Supporter's Course — Children and Teenager Edition low enough for every family to afford.

That’s why the Master’s Version of The Bipolar Supporter's Course — Children and Teenager Edition – which delivers a full retail value of $1816 – is priced at a very affordable $249.95 (plus shipping and handling). That’s just 55 cents a day for a year – probably less than a penny a day when you consider that these are techniques you’ll be using the rest of your life.

Surely you can afford to invest 55 cents a day for the health, well-being and success of your child, can’t you?

After all, that’s less than you pay for your daily cup of coffee, bottle of water, or can of soda. For a gallon of gas. For a long-distance phone call. Maybe even for tolls on your commute to work.

The basic version of The Bipolar Supporter's Course — Children and Teenager Edition is even more economical at just $89.95 respectively. (The drawback, of course, is that you don’t get nearly the same volume of top-quality resources as you receive with the master’s edition.)

The bottom line is that you can spend less than a quarter a day … and still get access to this wealth of information.

Here’s another way to tell which version of the course makes the most sense for you: Think about all of the time and money you’ve spent on doctor visits and therapy appointments so far … and now tally up the number of effective coping strategies you’ve learned at those appointments.

I’m willing to guess that it’ll take you at least several more doctor’s visits or therapy appointments to extract even a fraction of the information in The Bipolar Supporter's Course — Children and Teenager Edition. Even if you make only $20 an hour at your job, you only have to save yourself 13 hours of time (a snap to do when you look at the time you waste driving to and from appointments, never mind waiting around for the doctor to actually get to you) to make your investment worth every penny.

Wouldn’t you rather spend your free time with your child rather than desperately searching the Internet for information about bipolar disorder in children? Wouldn’t you rather spend a few hours learning what’s worked for other children with bipolar rather than dragging your child (and taking off of work yet again) from appointment from appointment in a fruitless search for answers?

Of course you would. That’s why it makes perfect sense to order your copy today.

I’ll Even Help Finance Your Purchase

Now maybe this is a tight month … and you don’t have $249.95 to invest right now. If that's the case, I have more good news for you.

When you decide to pay for your investment using your Visa, Master Card, American Express, or Discover card, you don't have to pay the full amount up front. Instead, you can make two convenient equal monthly installment payments (plus shipping and handling charges, which will be added to your first payment).

Get Your Extra Bonus Gift Valued at $505!

But, if you do decide to pay for your entire investment in just ONE payment, you’ll get an extra bonus gift – the FREE Reprint Rights for the Bipolar Explanation Guide.

With these rights, you will be able to take this guide and LEGALLY have it reproduced WITHOUT paying any royalties, and you can give it out for FREE to help people understand your child's illness.

The value of this is immense. Let's face it, most of the material out in the world on bipolar disorder is too long, too complicated or too boring to help someone understand what bipolar disorder is all about. That's why this guide is so important in the first place and with this FREE gift you'll be able to ensure that everyone who comes in contact with your child will have the best information available.

If you had to have this guide written yourself, you'd pay at least $20 a page for a professional writer and researcher who is experienced with bipolar disorder. That means it would cost you at least $320. Plus, you'd have to spend a couple hundred dollars to find others who would allow you to use their stories in the guide and to have the guide printed. So that's why I say the value of this Extra Bonus Gift is conservatively $505.

Trust me, you can’t go wrong. Take a look at what other parents and supporters of children with bipolar are saying about The Bipolar Supporter's Course — Children and Teenager Edition.

Why Parents of Children with Bipolar Highly Recommend The Bipolar Supporter's Course — Children and Teenager Edition

Here’s a small sample of the praise and positive feedback David has received from grateful parents just like me and you.

"Living with a bipolar son, a mother that is in denial and other family members that have been diagnosed as bipolar I find your tips and humor a life saver. I am at times at my wits end and have to remember to take care of me. I am a MSW, LBSW, CART, CI and I'll be damned if living with a bipolar doesn't get to me. All those letters after my name does not mean as much, as having a person as yourself saying and being in the same situation to give me strength. love and thanks for your support and giving spirit."

--Lois

"I just want to thank you for all the information that I have learned reading your material. My husband and youngest son are bipolar. I just wanted to say Thank You!"

--Sherry Davis

"Please do not give up on educating people on bipolar disorder. Finding your web sight was a god send. I am devoting the rest of my days to help my son become a responsible productive human being. Your mini course assured me I was on the right track. It is like I am raising him all over again."

--Sandra Caddell

"The e-mails I get help me in many different ways. First of all, I don't feel alone in dealing with the problems my child faces. And second of all, at times when I feel overwhelmed and think, "What can I do now?" I read something that lets me know we are keeping up the fight to get her on the correct meds. You are a definite help, heaven sent. Don't stop. Thanks."

-Shelly

"I just started receiving your mini free course in Jan. 05 and I find that any information regarding my son's well being and my peace of mind is worth reading.

The bottom line is every person in our family now receives your mini course. We email one another and talk about what we have read and how it applies to our loved one. Your course has given us a small portion of what to watch for to keep a major episode in the past into getting help sooner to keep the number of days in the hospital to a minimum.

We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for real time information that is very beneficial to our family and coping with this disease on a daily basis."

--Linda H.

"David, From the moment I got the information in the mail, I could not put it down. We have been looking for information to help our daughter, your information came a few days before we were going to have her probated. After reading your information, I had a talk with her and convinced her to change her meds, to help us (dad, mom, brother since we have the problem). I don't think it was an accident that I came upon your site, I prayed that the good Lord would help us help her. We didn't want to probate her."

--Linda

"David, Do not quit. Your information is the best I have gotten to help me understand our bipolar son."

--Kathy

And that’s not all.

You Have 3 Choices … Which Path Will You Lead Your Family Down?

Well, it’s decision time. You have three choices now. And the one you choose will affect your child now … and forever.

Choice #1: You don't do anything. You can keep pretending that you have a handle on your child’s bipolar disorder or that everything will work itself out. You can just turn a blind eye to the horrible possibilities of drugs, alcohol abuse, problems in school, bankruptcy, lost friends, homelessness, bad doctors, and poverty that await your child in the future.

Trust me, I've spoken to enough people who have bipolar disorder to know that these are the results when the disorder isn't dealt with properly.

Choice #2: You can decide to search for this information on your own. You can do the research, spend a ton of money, and devote years to trial and error testing before possibly finding a way to conquer your child’s bipolar disorder. Keep in mind that the strategies that are included in this course have taken years and costs thousands of dollars to research.

In the meantime, your child's education, socialization, and well-being will all suffer.

Remember, the real key to your child’s success is getting the RIGHT information and taking massive and immediate action on what you learn.

Without the right information, you and your child are DOOMED! You will spend years upon years trying to figure things out. So much time can pass that your child could actually reach the age of majority (18) … and then it’s too late and your child probably would have had a nightmare of a time. He/she probably would have done really poorly in school and have a poor foundation to build from ultimately depending on you for a long, long time.

Getting all the right information could take years, upon years.

As I look back with my experience, I’ve said:

If I only had more information… Yes, if I only had more information, my family would have been spared so many of the horrors I described to you. Our journey would have been one of joy and discovery, instead of pain and suffering. Needless pain and suffering many times.

The Good News is…I have learned from my mistakes and hundreds of other parent’s mistakes.

The Better News is…You can learn all of this in the comfort of your own home.

The Best News is…you can have all the information you need to make it through the maze of supporting a child with bipolar disorder, WITHOUT having to go through what I went through, because you will have the one thing I did not have and had to get on my own—INFORMATION!!!

That’s why it makes the most logical sense to go with …

Choice #3: You can invest in The Bipolar Supporter's Course — Children and Teenager Edition and immediately discover how to start effectively helping your child reclaim his or her life. You'll be able to take a “shortcut” past all of the time, energy, effort, money, and heartbreak so your child and the rest of your family can be happy again without the threat of another episode looming over them.

So which choice are you going to make?

The Longer You Wait … the Harder and Less Likely It Will Be to Get Back to “Normal”

You may not have realized this but … bipolar disorder is one of the most devastating disorders on the planet. It can and often does destroy everyone and everything in its path. Plus, it’s one of the most EXPENSIVE illnesses you’ll ever be faced with. People have gone from living lush and lavish lifestyles to being practically penniless because of this disorder. Not to mention the loss of jobs, relationships, and peace of mind that bipolar disorder also causes.

The bad news is that … the longer you wait to intervene,
the worse the problems are going to get.

That's why it's so crucial that you take this step now so that you can help your child bypass the problems that plague so many people who have bipolar disorder.

Look at my family. My mom dealt with bipolar disorder for her entire life, but if her parents had the information I’ve included in The Bipolar Supporter's Course — Children and Teenager Edition, they could have saved her from years of grief, mountains of debt, and dozens of damaged relationships.

Even my dad and I could have helped my mom earlier and saved our family from going through the nightmares her episodes represented. But we didn't. We simply chose to believe that each episode would be the last … and we’d try to reassure ourselves that “it can't get any worse.”

But guess what . . . bipolar doesn't go away and your loved one won't get better on their own. The problems and episodes will just keep getting worse and worse.

Eventually, your entire family will be dragged down, too.

Now YOU have the power to help your child live a normal, happy, successful life as a productive member of society … with the information, tips and techniques contained in The Bipolar Supporter's Course — Children and Teenager Edition.

With the information you'll find in this course, you will be able to turn your child's life around. You'll be able to ensure that your child receives a good education, the best medical treatment possible, and a good start on their future. You'll even be able to prevent many problems – debt, employment problems, bad planning – from occurring in the first place.

Do you want your child to beat the disorder NOW … or
would you prefer that he or she go through
ten, twenty, even thirty years of hell first?

That's what this investment would mean to your child. Ask anyone who has had bipolar disorder or who has been supporting someone with the disorder for years, and they'll tell you … that they would pay ANY amount of money to turn back the clock and to make the types of changes you’ll discover in this course. They know that this information would have made theirs and their loved ones' lives better sooner.

I’m ready to help my child beat bipolar disorder.

All of the dreams you’ve had for your child since the day he or she was born can still come true … all you have to do is make the right decision today, order your copy of The Bipolar Supporter's Course — Children and Teenager Edition, and review it risk-free for the next 120 days.

The information in all three versions of this course cannot be found in any other book, course, manual, etc. You won't find it at the library. Your family doctor won't be able to give it to you. How do I know? Because I tried to find it myself. It's not there! You owe it to your child to take action and get this material.

Give your child the best shot at a happy, normal life. Order your copy of The Bipolar Supporter's Course — Children and Teenager Edition right now.
