Autorenporträt

Andrea E. Paul is a 20-something recently diagnosed with bipolar disorder. After being prescribed the antidepressant, Prozac for depression and anxiety, Andrea knew something wasn't quite right. But, as her doctors told her, "it doesn't work unless you work it." So she allowed time to let the medication do its thing so she could be seen as a compliant patient and client. Andrea wrote The Bipolar Black Girl as a follow up to her first book, The Black Girl on Prozac. Based on her experience, Andrea decided to pursue a Masters degree in Counseling in order to further help those like herself, come to accept their diagnosis and learn the best ways to cope.
