11. What resources do you recommend and why? (Books, documentaries, websites etc … anything at all.)
I’ve reviewed all of the books and documentaries I’ve read and watched, the info and links are all on my blog pages (eyes aloft, kids).
These are a few of my favourite things:

My favourite song about bipolar is Krizz Kaliko’s Bipolar. I’m not sure how he came up with the name of the song, but what a stroke of genius.
