Adam Gerhardstein (Author)
Adam Gerhardstein was diagnosed with bipolar disorder when he was twenty-one. Before then, as a college student, he started a nonprofit doing charitable work in Kenya. While living with bipolar disorder, he has gotten married, had a daughter, and has worked as a mental health worker, landscaper, lobbyist, organizer, civil rights attorney, Montessori teacher, and is currently a carpenter. He is from Cincinnati, Ohio, and now resides in St. Paul, Minnesota, where he tries to spend as much time as possible in a canoe. He is the author of I Hope I Get Well: A Memoir of Bipolar Disorder. His article, A First Episode Standard for Involuntary Treatment, was published in the University of St. Thomas Law Journal. He also writes a creative nonfiction newsletter called “The LoveLetter from Adam Gerhardstein” that he mails (with stamps) around the world. Read more about this authorRead less about this author

When Adam was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, he was a confident college student dead set on changing the world. Then he stopped sleeping for six days, obeyed directions from God, and wound up lashed to a bed in a psychiatric ward.

His manic episode and involuntary hospitalization were followed by a seemingly endless depression. For two years, bipolar disorder dominated Adam’s life.

Working his way back to stability, Adam left his hometown, hoping to escape the frightening memories of his sickest days. But sixteen years later, when bipolar disorder derails his life again, those memories come rushing back.

With the help of his loving wife, old friends, and a brilliant therapist, he reckons with his past and finds a new way of being bipolar—and ultimately, of being human. Honest and riveting, I Hope I Get Well is a story of mental illness that swaps shame and fear for kindness and freedom.
