About the book:

The dual diagnosis of HIV and bipolar disorder catapults Torsten from a good middle-class life to the abyss of society. In this book, he invites you to accompany him on a journey through his manic thoughts. Whether deepest depression or the panic-stricken fear of losing his genius, he reveals everything relentlessly openly and honestly before taking the reader into the world of his therapies and out of this nirvana. Again and again we encounter his irrepressible will to live and his desire to get rid of the stigma associated with his illnesses, because neither gayness nor bipolar disorder are contagious. Neither is a treated HIV infection below the detection limit! What this book is sure to infect, however, is confidence - so only COURAGE.
