Steven W. Wilson is the author of Teetering on a Tightrope, a deeply personal account of survival, self-discovery, and resilience. Based on his own life, he explores the complex realities of bipolar disorder, childhood trauma, and the long road toward stability. His work sheds light on the trauma and bipolar connection, helping readers understand how early wounds can echo through adulthood.

With courage and clarity, Steven opens up about experiencing hypomania symptoms, battling suicidal thoughts from depression, and navigating treatment options such as psychotherapy for bipolar disorder and medication challenges, including concerns about lithium side effects. Rather than presenting clinical theory alone, he offers lived experience; raw, reflective, and profoundly human.

Through his writing, Steven hopes to remove stigma, encourage open conversation about mental health, and offer comfort to those who feel unseen. His mission is simple yet powerful: to remind readers that healing is possible, and no one has to walk the tightrope alone.
