Dr Fred Von Gunten
Biography
My name is Dr. Fred and I have been retired for over 12 years. I was an Optometrist, specializing in developmental and behavioral vision for more than 33 years. I gave sight to others so as to learn from their insight. I am happily married to a lovely lady, 47 years and counting. She supported me during my episodes and I owe my life to her. At 69, I have knowledge and experience when it comes to dealing with Bipolar Disorder. My mission is to help others in achieving emotional stability without episodes. I’ve lived 50 years with Bipolar I. For the first 25 years I dealt with over 5 episodes. Since then, I have transformed my life by changing my thoughts and committing to a consistent supply of Lithium. I’ve maintained years of "episode-free emotional stability". Some would classify this as a "Functional Bipolar”. Perhaps I might classify it as "functionally cured". I was one of the first to receive Lithium when the FDA approved it in 1971. It has kept me stable for the last 27 years, along with knowing the “Power of Being Positive with Bipolar Disorder”.
