great for people with bipolar disorder and good for the families to read too Mar 21, 2010
I purchased this book for my sister, who was diagnosed with bipolar disorder about 3 years ago. Now that her medication and doctor's visits and therapy are all under control and in place, my family and I wanted to learn more about ways to modify behavior to help balance my sister's lifestyle and keep the ups and downs to a manageable minimum. The book is great in its explanation of how the disorder works in the brain and the body. The worksheets and activities in the second part are excellent tools for getting organized and helping with day to day stresses and large changes that can set off the highs and lows that come with bipolar disorder.
The book is easy to follow, written well and accompanies medical treatment nicely. The book is also very helpful with families who feel like they don't know what to do or say anymore to help but want to do something. Please remember if you have bipolar disorder, you need to be seeing a psychiatrist first and foremost!

 Excellent resource Jun 04, 2009
I have read nearly everything written regarding bipolar disorder and this book is a nice addition to my collection. It explains behaviors and thinking traps that become all to common is those who suffer from this disorder. I highly recommend it to those diagnosed with BPD and their families.

very informative - a different voice Nov 27, 2008
the way this book is written is a bit different than others that i've found. i ended up buying this book because i was writting too much in my notebook. now i can highlight it and mark up the pages. the other books i would recommend are 'loving someone with bp disorder', 'bp for dummies' and 'living with bp disorder'. i was diagnosed with bp disorder last year - my sister and i. if you are looking into this because you have it or someone you know has it know that you are not alone and this illness SUCKS...but, there is hope. get a GOOD psychiatrist and therapist and learn what these books say. that's the best thing to do. i've cried many times thinking about all the others that are out there going through exactly what i'm going through.

Just What I Was Looking For!!! Sep 30, 2008
After a lifetime of depression and suicidal ideation, on meds since 1994, and a diagnosis of major depression in 2001, I was recently diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder I, Mixed episode, unspecified. Every resource I had found just regurgitated the list of symptoms from the DSMVI-TR, which wasn't any help in understanding why the doctor came up with this diagnosis. This book very quickly and succinctly gave real-life examples of things such as racing thoughts, halluncinations, pressured speech, obsessive thoughts,etc. I thought I understood what all of these were, but I had no idea how they could manifest themselves in real life. It was only after reading this book that I have begun to accept the diagnosis I was given, and can see for myself what symptoms I have been having for years without even knowing it! I recommend this book to anyone who wants something that goes beyond the clinical basics, who wants to know what it's really like to experience these symptoms and how to manage them.

This is the book I have been waiting for! Sep 21, 2008
If you only buy one book on bipolar this should be the book!
I had spent tons of time (and money) looking for a relevant, helpful and intelligent book on bi-polar II. There are countless books focusing on bipolar I, but very few on it's step-sibling bipolar II. There are even more books addressing depression, but none on hypo-mania. Just when I was finally giving up on ever finding a helpful book this one fell into my lap! And I was so excited.
I can't stress how HELPFUL and RELEVENT this book is to anyone with bipolar but especially bipolar II. The first part of the book focuses on educating the reader---about diagnostic techniques, brain chemistry, medication, etc. The second half helps the reader to understand what steps to take next after the diagnosis.
This book gave me great hope and comfort. My hope came in realizing that there would one day be a time when this disorder didn't color my every day and I would just live life. And comfort came in knowing that I was not the only one experiencing these challenges and in the validation that I wasn't making it all up. I recognized myself in so much of this book.
The biggest endorsement I can give this book is that I immediately ordered copies for my parents and closest friends. The books does an incredible job on communicating what life feels like from the patients perspective and I know this information has been invaluable to my family and friends. They have become active partners in ensuring I stay safe and stable and recognize warning signs and problems on there own. And for that I will always be eternally grateful.
This book addresses both bipolar I and II and gives equal time to both. It includes exercises--relevant ones including what to bring to a doctor's visit and how to recognize stress triggers--that even I completed.
I really cannot say enough great things about this book and I encourage all bipolar patients to read it!
