From cookoo’s nest to living life - Ioannis Skiotes | Mark MI Words

Before Bipolar Disorder struck at 25, Ioannis was thriving — a two‑time college graduate, fit, focused, and full of momentum. Then everything collapsed.

At 25 he lost his first professional job and plunged into a severe depression, tormented by voices. With no health insurance, he spent two years in a State Mental Institution, trapped in a cavernous abyss that felt endless. Wrong medications battered him with brutal side effects; one even triggered Afib, turning survival into a daily fight.

But after his release, the long climb back began. A chance encounter with Cuckoo’s Nest star Jack Nicholson lit a spark. From the wreckage, Ioannis forged his Six Point Method — a way to live with an incurable condition without surrendering to it.

Today Ioannis shares his story with us.

You can find his contact information, his book and an outline of his 6 points here... ioannisskiotes.com
