Diana Grippo is a former teacher, a founder, and Executive Director and now works with Apple. But before establishing a successful career, she had to battle a mental disorder that has affected and even ruined many lives, not only in the United States but also in many parts of the world- bipolar disorder. Today, we will learn more about Diana’s battles, triumphs, and inspiring journey, encapsulated in her memoir, Bipolar Chronicles.

Bipolar Chronicles is a self-help guidebook for those dealing with anxieties, depression, and families who are taking care of persons with such dilemmas.

Recently published Bipolar Chronicles: From Crazed to Content by Diana Grippo is a memoir and a self-help guidebook. As the title suggests, it features bipolar chronicles on depression and mental illness. The book is intended for those suffering from anxiety and depression as Grippo shares her journey from going crazy and surviving various ordeals and then eventually overcoming life’s hurdles and returning to a more normal and peaceful life. 

Grippo struggled and dealt with hallucinations, delusions, depression, and even substance abuse. She admits how she gets better only to relapse and how this destructive cycle continued for many years. Grippo experienced living in the streets and almost never-ending trips in and out of hospitals. One day, with help and study, Diana found the courage to change her fate. Diana chose to embrace The Twelve Steps, music therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. She found ways to slowly manage her condition and eventually design a healthier and less stressful life for herself.

In her book, Diana Grippo shares how to combat her depression with three major coping mechanisms that have helped her successfully transform from a helpless patient to someone who has relative control of herself.

Diana Grippo identifies Spiritual Path, Music Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy as three major coping mechanisms that have helped her cope with depression. As someone has managed to leap from living on the streets to becoming a successful employee in one of the country’s prominent companies, Grippo lends a credible voice for others who want to overcome or at least manage their depression and manic behaviors.
