Alfredo Zotti, a professional musician and bipolar survivor with a university degree in social anthropology and three years study of psychology, provides an introduction to music theory with specific case studies of applications for Alzheimer's, bipolar disorder, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), schizophrenia, anxiety, depression and other issues.

About the Author

Alfredo Zotti is the son of the late Luciano Zotti (https: //it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luciano_Zotti), Italian composer, orchestra conductor and musical director, and his wife, Cristina Zotti. In 1974, Alfredo, his parents and brother, Giovanni, migrated to Sydney, Australia. At first, life was difficult, because the family worked in a wood factory for little pay. As time went on, Luciano began to work as a musician and music teacher and life slowly improved for him and his family. In 1981, after many traumatic events, Alfredo began his lifelong challenge of living with bipolar disorder. He quickly hit rock bottom, spending time as a homeless person and turning to street drugs and alcohol to medicate his symptoms. But life improved after hospitalization and careful outpatient monitor¬ing. Alfredo married Cheryl MacDonald, who also suffers with bipolar disorder, and he was able to enroll in a university course. He gained an honours degree in sociology and anthropology. He went on to study clinical psychology at the University of Newcastle, but he did not complete his degree, because he felt that academia had taken the wrong path in the prevention and cure of mental illnesses. He completed some courses at first, second and third year level, with distinction and high distinction. Alfredo also studied piano and was able to attain the grade 8 skill in piano. Today, Alfredo is the full-time caregiver for his wife, who suffers from a number of disabilities. He also regularly raises funds for his local hospital, Gosford Hospital, by organizing fundraiser nights, where he plays with other musicians. So far, he has helped to raise thousands of dollars. The money goes toward the needs of the hospital's patients with mental disorders. Alfredo also writes an online journal, The Anti Stigma Crusaders, which he uploads regularly at two or three month intervals. Additionally, Alfredo provides support for online sufferers and uses his art to help people. While he is not a qualified music therapist, he does use music and art to help people online. Some mental health professionals often consult him for his lived experience and knowledge of psychology and music. He has written three books, including this one, two published and one that is free online. He also contributes by giving talks at universities about his experience with bipolar disorder.
