SAVE THE DATE! November 13th at 6:00pm. General Gregg Martin, author of Bipolar General: My Forever War With Mental Illness, will speak at Ohio University’s Baker Center.




“An intense, compelling, courageous book by a gifted senior combat leader whose life was taken over by severe bipolar disorder -- and who ultimately recovered and built a new life with the help of his wife, an Army comrade, the VA, and his faith. I served with Gregg Martin in combat; he is the real deal and so is his book, one that will provide enormous insight and inspiration to families grappling with mental illness.” — David Petraeus, General US Army Retired
