Julie was diagnosed with bipolar disorder two with psychotic features in 1995. (We now call this schizo-affective disorder.)  Julie trains health care professionals around the world on how to use this plan with their clients.

The following explains Julie’s Health Cards System as well as her traditionally published books. 

Do you need a management plan that works with your medications?

or…

Do you want a plan that allows you to take less medications? 

I’m a big believer in medications for bipolar disorder- when they work. I also know that we need a management plan in case the medications are not enough or we don’t want to take medications for every symptom. The Health Cards work with and without medications. If you or your loved one’s bipolar disorder simply isn’t getting better, the Health Cards can provide relief.  I use them every day. I still deal with mood swings- a lot, but you can see what I have accomplished. You can work, have relationships, travel and make money once bipolar disorder is under control. It’s all explained in the Health Cards Treatment System for Bipolar Disorder.

It is possible to treat this illness successfully. I do.

I created the Health Cards plan for anyone diagnosed with bipolar disorder. They are also an invaluable tool for those who care about someone with the illness.

“Medications don’t work 100% for everyone, but everyone with bipolar disorder needs a management plan that works.”

What are the Health Cards?

The Health Cards are a Revolutionary 3-Step Program for the Management of Bipolar Disorder. I created this system in 1998 when medications alone were not enough to manage this often debilitating illness. I and everyone who cares about me uses the system I teach in my Health Cards book. This includes my family, friends and health care professionals. You can manage this illness. If you are the parent or partner of a person with bipolar disorder, you can learn the Health Cards system and then teach it to a loved one. If you care for someone who refuses treatment, the system can still work for you.

What You Will Learn from the Health Cards Treatment System for Bipolar Disorder

• The full spectrum of bipolar disorder symptoms and techniques to control them
• How to communicate with family and friends to manage the illness as a team
• How to dramatically increase your ability to work and financially support yourself
• The side effects of bipolar medications and how to recognize, reduce and prevent them

Do you care about someone with bipolar disorder? The Health Cards are for you too! You will learn…

• How to recognize the difference between your (or your loved one’s) typical vs. bipolar behavior
• How to heal the romantic and family relationship problems bipolar disorder inevitably causes
• How to recognize and prevent the stressful and damaging conversations caused by bipolar disorder mood swings

How the Health Cards Treatment System for Bipolar Disorder Works

The Health Cards System is a practical, hands-on program (in book form) designed to be used by individuals with bipolar disorder as well as their partners, family members and friends. You are given step-by-step instructions for creating customized “Health Cards” for each of your symptoms, whether it’s a mood swing, behavior, or relationship difficulty. Then you are shown how to break each of these down into the various signs, symptoms and triggers associated with it, as well as discover the specific behaviors that you and the people around you can do to lessen and prevent it.

There are 66 pages of sample Health Cards filled with literally hundreds of the most specific and commonly reported bipolar symptoms, signs and triggers. You won’t find a more thorough or comprehensive list like this anywhere.

You can update them as you progress or change them as your particular symptoms change. There is no bipolar disorder management program like this available anywhere else.

“Julie, we have tried everything to help our son. He has been in the hospital five times, has trouble with mania and psychosis and often tells us we are the crazy ones. The only book we have ever seen him read on the topic of bipolar is your book Bipolar Happens. It’s short and written by someone who knows what it’s like to have the illness. He said that for the first time he felt understood. We have loved your Health Cards and know we can all use them together soon.”

Health Cards Treatment System for Bipolar

The Health Cards Treatment System for Bipolar Disorder:  This is the overall plan Julie uses to keep her life on track despite living with daily bipolar disorder symptoms.  The Health Cards work and they require work. If you have bipolar and are sick and tired of how this downright rotten illness controls your life and you are ready to CHANGE in order to find stability, this is the plan for you.

If you care about someone with bipolar disorder who refuses help and yet you just know in your heart this person can get better and you want to know exactly what to do to facilitate this process, the Health Cards are for you. This is not a book on the history of bipolar disorder. This is daily plan that changes life the minute it is implemented.

How do the Health Cards work?  The Health Cards teach you to be a bipolar disorder detective. You DO have the ability to manage this illness using a system that teaches you to recognize and prevent symptoms. They work because they are based off the idea that symptom management is the #1 way to find stability when you have bipolar disorder.

We do not have an emotional problem, but we do have an illness that reacts to the world with symptoms of mania, depression, anxiety, psychosis, ADD symptoms and irrigation and anger. We have to know these symptoms inside and out in order to know what we are up against. The Health Cards teach you to create a plan that will stop the mood swings in their tracks and prevent them from taking over lives in the future.  They work for people with the illness as well as loved ones and health care professionals. If you’re into big data, The Health Cards are Moneyball for bipolar.

Parents, family members, caregivers and health care professionals around the world use the Health Cards on their own or with the person who has bipolar. They teach you to recognize the symptoms of the illness before the symptoms go too far.

“Julie, the most exciting thing that ever happened to me in terms of this illness is the day I received all of your books in the mail. I felt hope for the first time in years. Thank you for sharing your plan with the world.  Please know that your suffering and our suffering all has meaning when we realize we can get better. Thank you for bringing hope back into my confused and often overwhelming life.”

– Brittany, 34       Diagnosed with bipolar one.

 

“Julie’s books helped me better understand my dad’s bipolar. How to deal with certain situations when he is manic and I forget what to do, I just go to The Health Cards. Sometimes we will be arguing and I will think- why is this happening!? Then I remember, oh, that is exactly what I wrote on the Health Cards under his dysphoric mania card! I can remember what they tell me to do! It calms me down to know that that something I created that I know works is there for me. It has changed my relationship with my father and change my life overall. No more fights. I can say to myself- this is my dad’s mania talking. I know what to do. And yes, this makes a difference as when he is better, I can show him the Health Cards and tell him what I am doing for myself. I don’t control whether my dad gets help for bipolar or not. That is his life- but I can control how I interact with him and I can teach myself to look for signs of the illness in my own brain. I always say that the Health Cards shaped my future. I’ve been using them for over 10 years. I do have depression and I know I am on the verge of mania in many situations. The Health Cards keep me from tipping over into mania. I really believe this! Also, my family didn’t do well until we learned The Bipolar Conversation idea in Take Charge. That was massive for us.”

– Darrel, age 29       Dad and uncle with bipolar.

A note from Julie: I’ve used the Health Cards Treatment Plan for Bipolar Disorder every day of my life since creating the system in 1998. My partner was diagnosed with bipolar disorder one in 1994 and I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder two with psychotic features (we now call this schizo-affective disorder) in 1995. I wanted to save my relationships and get on with my life. I created the Health Cards to help myself calm down this raging illness. Over 20 years later, I still use the same system as do all of my family members and friends.  People with bipolar disorder and the people who care about them need a daily management plan in order to stay stable.  I hope the Health Cards prove to be as life changing for you as they have been for myself and especially my mother!  I recently traveled to England. The Health Cards were the most important item in my suitcase. It’s a challenge to manage bipolar disorder, but life can be good.
