al Alexandre Bertorello bert

Diagnosed with type one bipolar disorder at the age of 19, Alexandre was born on October 29, 1994 in Toulon, France.

He is the author of the book L'illumination bipolaire, which retraces his life before and after his diagnosis.

Instead of a man destined for a great career, his tumultuous path led him to become a writer.

A year after graduating from his scientific baccalaureate, he experienced his first decompensation (or manic crisis) after returning from a trip to New Caledonia. Since then, he has experienced a series of decompensations, with twelve hospitalizations to his credit.

His crises are experienced by the protagonist as a series of adventures that are both dangerous for him and detrimental to his future projects, but which are just as creative and imaginative.
