Synopsis

My book, Ups and Downs was motivated by the realisation that, no matter what life deals us, we can find a way forward. I suffered Grand Mal Epilepsy and manic depression for thirty years, fed a cocktail of drugs by the medical profession. I was forced to give up a career in music, faced mental torment that produced self-loathing and feelings utter helplessness. Only an endemic belief that our existence has purpose drove me to search for my reason for being.The ups and downs I underwent became the driving force behind my determination to focus on something other than my inner demons. In spite of several near-death experiences I have survived to put my struggles in print. My hope is that the book will inspire other sufferers to do the same.
