Warrior

Seven years of medication, rehab and therapy finally had him stable and functioning again. And then…the illness came back. Faced with a destroyed house and the remorseful aftermath of a psychotic meltdown caused by a relapse of Bipolar Disorder, newlywed Krish leaves his emotionally abusive arranged marriage to find a better way to live. Having once dealt with a misdiagnosis and its resulting horrific impact on his life, he was determined this time to understand, and to overcome. Warrior: The Bipolar Battle chronicles Krish’s journey through five countries on three continents in his quest for understanding and enlightenment. From a village in India, where guidance from the late Sai Baba taught him to open his heart to hope, faith and the understanding that everything happens for a reason, to the hills of Thailand, where he lived with a teacher who taught him how to conquer negative emotions and freed him of dependency on Western medications, to the birthplace of martial arts in the remote Wudang Mountains of China, where he studied Tai Chi and learned to harness the energy in his body, he was unstoppable in his thirst for understanding of this disease and enlightenment as to how he could overcome it. Dark and emotional, yet filled with inspiration and hope, Warrior: The Bipolar Battle is an intimate look at the author’s epic three-year quest to understand his mind, and his place in the universe. It is a tale about 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.”
