Julie A. Fast is a world leading mental health expert on the topics of bipolar disorder, depression and mood disorder management. She is the bestselling author of Loving Someone with Bipolar Disorder, Take Charge of Bipolar Disorder, Get it Done When You’re Depressed and The Health Cards Treatment System for Bipolar Disorder. Julie is a critically acclaimed national speaker, family coach and sought after media source, and is regarded as a mental health pioneer for her groundbreaking, comprehensive approach to treating bipolar disorder and depression using both mainstream and proven alternative therapies. Her work has helped hundreds of thousands of people on medication, as well as those who have difficulties tolerating medications, find ways to successfully manage their condition and reclaim their lives.

Julie was diagnosed with rapid cycling bipolar disorder (“bipolar 2”) in 1995 at the age of thirty-one, after fourteen challenging and chaotic years. In 1998, after trying over a dozen different medications, she found herself at a life-or-death crossroads: The medications were not enough and the quality of her life was spiraling downward due to the drugs’ intolerable side effects. This experience inspired her to create a management program for herself, one that also educated and involved the people in her life close to her. It was so successful she decided to publish it in book form in order to help others. The program is known today as The Health Cards System for Bipolar Disorder and is currently helping hundreds of thousands of people worldwide.

"I use the treatment system with all of the people in my life. Some of them told me this is the first time in the five years since I was diagnosed that they’ve understood what I’m going through. This has changed my life." - Vanessa, Seattle

"Thank you very much for sharing so much of yourself and for putting so much love and effort into making your system available to the world. After reading through all of the books, I feel that the system is one of the most insightful and straightforward approaches to dealing with bipolar disorder that I have had the good fortune to come across. My relationship with my daughter has changed completely." - Jay, Dallas

"Julie, I can’t thank you enough for your Health Cards treatment system. I have been recommending and using them in my practice for two years now. Your Health Cards have facilitated much deeper knowledge and understanding for my clients, which has helped me provide better treatment as a whole. I could not have developed a better tool for my practice." - Dr. J. Stein, New York

"Bipolar disorder is a physical illness just like diabetes and warrants no shame or stigma. But like diabetes, it must be managed. Medications alone are not enough. The first step in managing the illness is to learn to recognize your particular symptoms. Then you need to create a plan and educate those close to you. My Health Cards System teaches you how to do this with a simple, three-step approach. I first created it 1999 for myself and my family, and it changed my life. Since then, it has also helped hundreds of thousands of other individuals and families live happy, healthy lives." - Julie
