The Health Cards Treatment System for Bipolar Disorder
Julie’s most popular and best selling treatment program for bipolar disorder, the revolutionary “Health Cards” System teaches people with the illness how to ask for help and involve family members and friends in the healing process. It is also useful for family members who are on their own, as it helps them understand their loved one’s illness and develop a plan for communication and support. Medications really do make a difference, but there are often problems related to bipolar disorder that medications cannot solve. The Health Cards System offers a comprehensive solution to these problems. The system includes two more books by Julie, Bipolar Happens and Tips for Talking with Health Care Professionals. – Learn more!

Get it Done When You’re Depressed
Everyone knows that depression can lead to guilt, sadness, frustration, and in the case of 15-20% of people with depression, suicide.

This book helps break the cycle by presenting 50 successful strategies to circumvent the effects of depression. Readers will learn how to prepare themselves mentally for working while depressed; how to structure their environment to work more confidently and easily; how to get along working with others; and most of all, how to prevent depression. End the day feeling better about yourself by experiencing a sense of accomplishment. – Buy from Amazon.com
