I thought this interview at MyDepression.com might interest readers, as it describes my harrowing experiences as a manic-depressive doctor, my stategies for coping, and my art:

My new book of poems, "Unexpected Light," ultimately a redemptive view of manic-depression that ends in true love, is available at:

and booksellers everywhere like Amazon.com

It is my sincere hope that others will benefit from my struggle and my also my new book, twelve years in the making.

If you'd like to read more of my work, simply go to my homepage, http://www.cechaffin.com  or google "C. E. Chaffin."

Personal inquiries are welcome, e-mail contact exists at my home site.  I'm also on Facebook as Craig Erick Chaffin.  Also, my blog, http://www.cechaffin.blogspot.com has detailed the horrors of a recent two-year depression from April 2006 to April 2008 with a course of failed ECT.  So I've really been to the bottom.

Thine in Truth and Art,

C. E. Chaffin
