To all of the DeHaan family members:
Dr. Marvin DeHaan treated and cared for my father and his bipolar illness for many many years. As the last of five children in our family, it became apparent when I was in my late twenties that I too had inherited the bipolar gene from my father.
I recall going into my sales job after nearly four nights of very little sleep. The woman who owned the company sat me down and had a little talk with me. She asked me if I had ever heard of the words bipolar or manic depressive. It was as if a light bulb went off immediately for me because I know that my father had struggled with the same illness. My boss asked me if I knew anybody that might be able to help me and immediately Dr Dion's's name came to my mind.
A quick phone call to the Dr. DeHaan and he immediately recalled my father and the similarity in the symptoms that I was experiencing.
Knowing that the most important thing that I needed was to sleep, he prescribed for me sleeping aids to get me through the weekend and I saw him on Monday to further walk through to my diagnosis and expectations. I am so grateful for Dr. DeHaan's expertise because I can now say some 20 years later that I am an active contributor to society and have been happily married for 23 years.
May God bless each and everyone of his family members and his children. You already know of the many contributions and peoples lives that he changed. One of them was mine, praise the Lord
