Andy Behrman is a larger than life personality, a nonfiction writer, and a national speaker. Andy was the subject of a New York media scandal for counterfeiting the Modern Art of Mark Kotsabi, the same art he once sold, putting him in federal prison for five months. Andy spent numerous sleepless nights fueled by drugs, had anonymous sex, traveled aimlessly, went on midnight binges and was even a male hustler. But before all of that, Andy had a happy childhood growing up in New Jersey, a golden boy who went on to graduate from Wesleyan University. Because he was never comfortable in his own skin he sought a high wherever he could find one and went on to change jobs the way some people change outfits, becoming a filmmaker, PR agent, stripper, or whatever made him feel invincible and bright. For years he was misdiagnosed by psychiatrists and psychotherapists, which only fueled his out-of-control euphoric highs and tornado-like rages of depression. At his most psychotic, Andy imagined himself chewing on sidewalks and swallowing sunlight. He was finally diagnosed when he was 29 with having bipolar disorder. After trying over 45 different medications, he decided to try electroconvulsive therapy, formerly known as electric shock treatment. Afterall Ernest Hemingway did ECT and Andy thought it was glamorous. Nineteen treatments later, Andy wrote Electroboy: A Memoir of Mania.  Andy lives in Los Angeles with his two beautiful teenage daughters. He doesn’t believe in true recovery for bipolar but rather feels lucky to be alive and manage his disorder by taking it one day at a time. One thing is for sure, Andy is outspoken, lively and controversial.     Show Note Links: Andy Behrman's Book, "Electroboy: A Memoir of Mania" Andy Behrman's Twitter Mark Kostabi- Modern Artist Kay Redfield Jamison's book, "An Unquiet Mind: A Memoir of Moods and Madness" Elizabeth Wurtzel's book, "Prozac Nation: Young and Depressed in America" Pressured Speech Definition Stephen Fry's Youtube Video about Andy Behrman's Electric Shock Therapy Suicide Prevention Hotline Dear Family, the Podcast

He also shares the story of his interview with noted actor and bipolar advocate Stephen Fry, his ideas on how to help fund advocacy groups, and his experiences with electroconvulsive therapy and memory loss.

For years Andy hid his raging mania under a larger-than-life personality. He sought a high wherever he could find one, and changed jobs as some people change outfits -- filmmaker, art dealer, hustler; whatever made him feel like a cartoon character, invincible and bright. Electroboy is about living life at breakneck speed. Andy hopped on flights from New York to Tokyo and Paris at a moment's notice, spent $25,000 without a bit of thought on a huge shopping spree and stayed awake nights exploring the underworld of nightlife in Manhattan or whatever city he happened to be visiting, in search of the perfect high. But when Andy turned to art forgery, he found himself the subject of a scandal lapped up by the New York media, then in jail, then under house arrest. And for once he didn't have a ready escape hatch from his unraveling life.  Andy was misdiagnosed by more than eight doctors and even when he was finally diagnosed with this chronic illness, he was treated unsuccessfully with any regimen of medication. Ingesting handfuls of antidepressants and tranquilizers, he felt his mind lose traction. With no hope of his condition stabilizing, he turned to the last resort: electroshock therapy also known as electroconvulsive therapy (or ECT). Andy underwent nineteen electroshock treatments over the course of about a year and a half.  Electroboy is currently being made into a major motion picture. Not only is Andy working on a sequel to Electroboy, but he is also writing a self-help book for sufferers of depression and bipolar disorder.

A lot of manic depressives already display the early signs of their disorder while they were still young. Andy Berman was no different. At the age of seven or eight, he was already obsessive compulsive who loved to do constant counting, checking, and cleaning. Yet it was completely undiagnosed, as the people around him saw him perfectly fine.    It was already in the 1980s when he went to college in Wesleyan University. That's when he started to spiral out of control. The easy access of drugs, sex, and alcohol only worsened his condition as he experienced a lot of manic episodes. When that happened, he was the star of the party, one of the best people to be with. He was bursting with energy that anyone easily gravitated toward him. Nevertheless, the bipolar disorder was also leading him the wrong directions that he almost failed in school.   READ FULL STORY...
