In the latest addition to the "My Bipolar World" series, author Sylvia Meier takes another look at one of the areas that affects those with bipolar disorder. And that is stigma.

As the book closed we are left with a better understanding of what it is like to be in the psych ward, why the stigma is all wrong and why we should not stigmatized those who enter the 4 bare walls, or those who live within them.
