Julie Kraft is a Canadian author and mental health advocate devoted to spreading awareness and shattering stigma. Since her bipolar II diagnosis in 2010, Julie has come to a place of fully embracing her bipolar mind- she credits it with allowing her to live a vibrant and full life. Julie's first book, The Other Side of Me - memoir of a bipolar mind, was published in 2017. She has also contributed to publications for Psych Central, Psycom, and BP Hope magazine. As she continues to pour herself into advocacy work, it is Julie's greatest hope that her voice will open minds, change perceptions, and help others walking a similar path.
