Main Areas
Our mission is to help people with mental conditions shift their thinking and behavior so that they can lead extraordinary lives. We are dedicated to the concept that recovery does not have to be limited to 90% of full function; true recovery means doing the hard work that brings you to 150%! We strongly believe that we can turn our 'condition' into one that becomes an advantage instead of an 'illness' or a 'disorder.'

Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Tom Wootton

The problem is not that we are mentally ill; The problem is that we experience 150% of what 'normal' people do and we are frustrated that we have not yet learned how to handle it. - The Depression Advantage
Doing the hard work to get a handle on this condition is the hardest thing you will ever do, except for one thing - not doing it - The Depression Advantage

We must understand that our beliefs about what we can achieve create the limits of our success. - Bipolar In Order

The mental health field is plagued with the bigotry of low expectations. Far too many people are talking about "changing the stigma," while creating the worst stigma of all--the idea that we are not capable of achieving greatness. - Bipolar In Order
