Warrior: The Bipolar Battle

Krish ‘K. S.’ Ram was born in Mumbai, India and grew up in the USA, where he earned Bachelors and Masters degrees from Purdue University. He spent many years in the corporate world, with a successful career in Sales and Marketing. Following a diagnosis of Bipolar Disorder in 2002, he was forced to take a two-year break from his career. After undergoing an intensive course of medication and therapy, he earned an MBA and resumed his career, only to face a relapse in 2009 that left him declared permanently disabled. Determined to understand his mind and his place in the universe, he walked away from everything he knew in order to find a better way to live. He eventually found three very different teachers, whose combined guidance helped him understand and manage his illness, while training him to control his mind and overcome fear. He knows now that, ultimately, life must be his final teacher, just as he knows his battle with Bipolar will never truly be over.
