Michael has lived with Bipolar Illness since the summer of 1974. However, the initial diagnosis was Depression. In 1975 at the Carrier Clinic/Foundation, doctors changed Michael's diagnosis to Bipolar which started him on a journey into the world of Mental Health/Illness. Since that time and despite many mood swings and challenges that accompany Bipolar Illness, Michael has worked primarily in the helping profession.
