There are books on display by the front table here at the annual conference for survivors sponsored by the southeast Florida Chapter of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. There are books on grief, why people commit suicide, my new book on my experience with depression, bipolar and alcoholism, along with brochures and newsletters.
“Are there any books for children?” one woman asked during the Q&A.
Yes, a Michael T. Miles, a psychologist who works with children told the crowd: The Fall of Freddie the Leaf
by Leo Buscaglia.
Let me know if you know of other books.

“my new book on my experience with depression, bipolar and alcoholism,”
It is impossible to have both depression and bipolar. This is because depression is a symptom of bipolar disorder – often, an extremely vital symptom – and is therefore simply a part of the bp for you. Go ask any qualified psychologist or psychiatrist if the two are diagnosed at the same time and most, if not all, will say “no”. You do not have bipolar and depression: you have bipolar disorder, with bouts of bipolar depression. Please stop listing them separately, it gets on my nerves every time.
