Based on the author's own experience in being treated for bipolar disorder\"--\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher Marketing\u003c\/strong\u003e: The system isn't broken, Mr. Nibbles. It was designed this way.  Theodore is a bear with wild mood swings. When he is up, he carves epic poetry into tree trunks. When he is down, he paints sad faces on rocks and turtle shells. In search of prescription medications that will bring stability to his life, Theodore finds a job with health insurance benefits. He gets the meds, but when he can't pay the psychiatrist's bill, he becomes lost in the Labyrinth of Health Insurance Claims. This witty and colorful tale follows the comical exploits of Theodore, a loveable and relatable bear, as he copes with bipolar disorder, navigates the inequities of capitalist society, founds a commune, and becomes an activist, all the while accompanied by a memorable cast of characters--fat-cat insurance CEOs, a wrongfully convicted snake, raccoons with tommy guns, and an unemployed old dog who cannot learn new tricks. Entertaining, whimsical, and bitingly satirical, Bipolar Bear is a fable for grownups that manages the delicate balance of addressing society's ills while simultaneously presenting a hopeful vision for the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback | \u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 200 | \u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2022-11-01\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Graphic Mundi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48278685352162,"sku":"9781637790359","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0023\/0005\/1501\/files\/9781637790359.jpg?v=1787958676","url":"https:\/\/www.mangadeal.com\/products\/9781637790359","provider":"Manga Deal","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
