“Tom gave a moving and emotional testimony to my listening audience of how his life was affected by the suicides of his brother and sister.  His real-life accounts of how bipolar disorder and the pain he has experienced in his life, inspired his book Chewing through the Straps: Living Successfully with Bipolar Disorder.  His experiences spoke to my audience about getting the help they need through therapy, medication when needed, and speaking honestly without feeling the stigma of mental illness.”
