Los Angeles, CA | May 1, 2021 – According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), one in five Americans experience mental illness historically, and in COVID times even more have been confronted with depression and anxiety. During Mental Health Awareness Month, they are spreading the word that those afflicted are not alone and that resources and support are available for getting better. Jason W. Park, PhD, author of the memoir Bliss + Blues = Bipolar, wants to help spread NAMI’s message of “You Are Not Alone” when it comes to Bipolar Disorder. His mission is to share the lessons he’s learned in his own hard-earned recovery from the illness.

“Properly diagnosed, properly medicated, in therapy, people with Bipolar Disorder like me can recover and blend back into society,” says Jason. “But we have to take care of ourselves and get the help needed”
