Mental Health Memoir Is the Swing High or Low Shines a Light on Bipolar Disorder
Author Wilma Cotten’s new website offers insights, support, and advocacy for families affected by mental illness.
Launch of Wilma Cotten’s Mental Health Advocacy Website
Wilma Cotten, author of ‘Is the Swing High or Low?: Living with Someone with Bipolar Disorder,’ extends an invitation to readers and mental health professionals alike to visit her new website, wilmacotten.com (https://wilmacotten.com). The website is a dedicated space to bring awareness to bipolar disorder and support families going through the ups and downs of a loved one’s mental health journey.
A Memoir of Love, Loss, and Resilience
Cotten’s memoir provides an emotional and unflinching examination of the emotional, psychological, and relationship struggles of caring for a child who has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Narrated through the eyes of a loving mother, the book chronicles the life of her daughter, Alisa, whose journey through mood swings, addiction, and system failure tragically ended in death. Amidst the tragedy, however, Cotten presents a powerful message of strength, compassion, and advocacy.

The site broadens these topics, providing readers with access to Cotten’s commentaries, mental health information, and progress reports on her ongoing work to sponsor awareness campaigns. With both accessibility and empathy in mind, wilmacotten.com (https://wilmacotten.com) is a safe haven for caregivers, families, and people fighting mood disorders.
A Family’s Journey Through Bipolar Disorder
Readers of ‘Is the Swing High or Low?’ accompany the family along the years of turmoil across several locations, from initial signs of disruption to an official bipolar diagnosis. Cotten’s account does not romanticize the uncomfortable truths faced by many families when mental illness enters their lives, with financial struggle, marital discord, and emotional disconnection contributing to their challenges.
The Turning Point of Diagnosis
Alisa’s final diagnosis is both a turning point and a new start, enlightening but also emphasizing how little families tend to be helped. Cotten describes relocations, tense relationships, and legal problems, yet also times of optimism graduations, the arrival of a granddaughter, and spiritual connections that survive death.
A Final Note of Encouragement
Cotten’s post on her site entitled “Final Note to Fellow Warriors,” she provides encouragement to caregivers and individuals alike: “If you’re battling for someone you love, know this, you are not alone.”
Breaking the Stigma Around Mental Health
With mental health literacy in the spotlight around the world, Cotten’s writing gives voice to families long silenced by stigma. Her website gives that voice a platform where readers can learn, think, and join together in solidarity.

Readers are invited to visit her website to learn more about the author’s mission, her continued advocacy efforts, and the inspiring story behind the book.
