Description
At 19 years old, Kevin Hines made a desperate attempt to take his own life by jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge. This act marked the beginning of an extraordinary story of survival and recovery from bipolar disorder with psychotic features.
Diagnosed recently, Kevin had begun to hear voices telling him he had to die, but it was this same condition that ultimately drove him to seek help and fight for his life. His remarkable story chronicles the human spirit's capacity to persevere in the face of mental illness, highlighting the importance of living mentally well with time, endurance, hard work, and support.
This book is a testament to the strength of the human spirit and a reminder that with the right disciplines in place, those living with difficult diagnoses can achieve better lives for themselves and those who care for them.
