NEW YORK, NY – June 11th, 2025 – Author, speaker, and mental health advocate Mabel Pantaleon announces the release of her powerful and poetic memoir, My Diagnosis is My Greatest Gift and My Greatest Teacher: A Personal Guide to Thrive With Bipolar Disorder — a transformative narrative that reimagines bipolar disorder not as a life sentence, but as a spiritual teacher and hidden gift.
Pantaleon’s memoir offers an unfiltered look at what it means to live with bipolar disorder — from the terrifying beauty of manic episodes to the quiet courage it takes to heal. Her story blends lived experience with spiritual insight, providing a beacon of hope for those navigating mental illness, stigma, or personal transformation.
“I didn’t just survive bipolar — I grew because of it,” says Pantaleon. “This diagnosis cracked me open, and in that opening, I discovered truth, purpose, and the strength to rebuild.”
Drawing from metaphysical teachings, psychiatric treatment, and personal growth, the book includes:
Vivid depictions of manic and depressive episodes
Reflections on spiritual awakening and mystical experiences
Guidance for those balancing psychiatric medication with faith or metaphysical beliefs
Practical tools and emotional support for those seeking to thrive — not just cope
In tandem with her book, Mabel also founded the nonprofit Echoes of the Divine, a support initiative for individuals on psychiatric medications seeking holistic healing, spiritual community, and self-empowerment.
