Bipolar talk
Emotional highs, numbing lows, high
energy, no energy. For years, Ruth Allen
rode this rollercoaster. She hopes to help
others by recounting her journey February
11 at Arbor Gallery, 36 Home Ave.,
Vankleek Hill at 7:30 p.m. as part of the
Speaker Series. “Bipolar 2 – A Biological
and Psychological Brain Disorder” is an
“amazing tale of courage and
perseverance,” say organizers. “It is a
personal journey which can resonate with
each one of us.”

Allen raised three children while
managing a fulfilling nursing career
spanning 20 years, retiring in 1998. “It
was time to look after myself and stop
marching to someone else’s drum,” says
Allen. “And there was always this nagging
feeling that somehow my body and my
mind weren’t always in sync.” Retirement
was a blessing, a time to read, read, and
read some more. Allen’s research into
“Brain Disorders” led her to the subject of
Bipolar, and specifically Bipolar 2. “It’s a
difficult disease to understand – and it
certainly does not lend itself to easy
empathy.”
She hopes to help anyone who suffers
from the devastating emotional and
physical symptoms of this affliction and to
try to remove the “stigma” that still
surrounds brain disorders and mental
health issues in today’s society.
“The best way to change old views is
through education, become aware of the
facts and stop accepting and repeating old
clichés and attitudes,” says Allen.
