Resources
To reach as many patients and loved ones as possible, my internet writing is broadly stratified across three outlets:
My email Newsletter - Since my Newsletter is entirely unique, this is how I tend to present myself to people. McMan's Depression and Bipolar Weekly (McMan is short for John McManamy) is the only email Newsletter that solely devotes itself to mood disorders. The emphasis is on recent findings by the experts. Feature articles are reported in depth, in terms everyone can understand. Also included are quick reports and updates. Those who need to keep abreast with what is going on or who are seeking to develop new insights into their illness are encouraged to email me for a free subscription.
My Main Website - McMan's Depression and Bipolar Web is my home base, and where most readers find me, usually after Googling an illness-related term. Much of what I report in my Newsletter later gets incorporated into articles on this Website. Here, you will find more than 300 articles on every aspect of your illness, arranged for easy navigation and reading. Articles range from the introductory to the intricate, but all are designed to be highly readable.

My Blog - Finally, I write twice-weekly blogs at BipolarConnect, part of the HealthCentral network. As opposed to my Website and Newsletter, these pieces are more chatty and immediate. Here you will see a side of me not found elsewhere, from my favorite recipes and music to quick takes on all and sundry to lessons I keep learning. These pieces are designed to be entertaining as well as informative.
