There tend to be many bleak stories about people who live with bipolar disorder, but rarely do we hear how people live well with bipolar, and how they have successfully adjusted their lives to manage their life.

ABC's Radio National Life Matters program spoke to Sarah Russell and Margie Nunn, who both live with bipolar disorder. In her book 'Lifelong Journey, Staying Well with Manic Depression/Bipolar Disorder', Sarah has collected more than 100 stories from others with the same illness, to give an insight into what they do to stay well to have fulfilled, happy and healthy lives.
