 The Bipolar Disorder Answer Book Feb 13, 2008
By Allyson Mason-Braunberger
"Flying Boxers Ranch"
I found this book to be extremely helpful. It's a fast read, well organized and answered all the questions I had and some I wasn't yet aware where nagging questions and were associated with this disease. I I have very recently been diagnosed with BP and was anxious to learn as much as I could as soon as possible. This book helped to give me a sense of comfort in understanding what had been happening to me for so many years, why I did the things I've done and most importantly, gave me hope that this diasease can be controlled. I'm already using things I learned here to manage my life.

 Bipolar self-help that's helpful Dec 12, 2007
By DBG
"DBG"
Having read several self-help books for people with bipolar disorder and for their families and friends, I find Dr. Atkins' book to be the best of the lot. His style and constantly engaging examples take this book beyond the usual advice and helpful hints. Dr. Atkins offers personal experience unlike other authors' "I've been through the sturm und drang" - approach. As a psychiatrist, he is clearly highly informed and first-rate, ready to share his knowledge. His insights are quite accessible, helpful, and his advice sensible as well as highly informed, making the book very user-friendly. I highly recommend it.

A GREAT RESOURCE! Nov 09, 2008
By Sascha
I am an in-home therapist with an MSW. I have read this book and used it now with several families struggling with questions about bipolar disorder. It is written in a way that is so easy to understand for ANYONE and it is so well organized. It is also great for comparing symptoms that may be attributed to another disorder instead. I am so thankful the author took the time to put this together and to share it with so many who find it useful.

The author grew up with family members suffering with this disorder, and went on to become an expert in the field. Dr. Atkins has compiled answers to more than 275 questions about bipolar disorder that bipolar sufferers as well as their families will have. The final chapter in the book includes practical questions such as insurance coverage, qualifying for SSI, and special programs available to help with purchasing medication. This book includes appendices listing first person and family accounts of bipolar disorder and a state by state guide of mental health agencies. This is an excellent primer for people struggling to understand the disorder.
