Here’s what Dr. Mountain says about her work:

Once I was a sick cookie. I thought there was no hope for me to recover from bipolar disorder. Now I nurture my own mental health by taking care of myself and managing the challenges of bipolar.

I still have my days, and sometimes weeks, of mood challenges, but I have found the help I need to seek mental wellness, even in the context of having a disorder that once nearly killed me. Daily I find hope and chose life.

I feel much better now and I don’t want others to have to become as sick as I was at one time before starting on the road to recovery. For those who are sick cookies, I want them to have hope for recovery. My passion is to help others change their lives by staying in treatment and learning recovery principles and skills that enable a person to live a healthy life.

My interests in mental health go beyond bipolar disorder. I want all who live with a psychiatric disorder to find acceptance in their communities with meaningful work and relationships. In addition to bipolar and depression, I write and speak about topics such as access to health care and mental health in the workplace and community.

Join me—and let’s go beyond bipolar to a healthy life in resilient communities.
