 Good Book - quick overview of the illness Mar 24, 2010
By K. Torrance
I had been looking for a current book on BD and a book that was for someone on my end. My husband has be DX with DB since he was 18 and had a relaspe after we were just married. Before that he was in remission and I never saw his mood swings. This book is the perfect book to educate someone who does not have the illness and wants to learn more about it.
The book covers everything you would want to know about BD, I really liked the descriptions of the symptoms and the little story's from actually people. Most of the websites and organizations sited in the book I know about, but there were a few new ones for me to discover.
It was comforting to read that what my husband goes through daily is his illness and not him just being lazy or forgetful on purpose. I told my husband he should read the book after I am done, maybe he will learn a little more about his illness.
The book is an easy read, this is the first book on BD that I have finished. I could not stop reading this book, the only reason I did not finish it the first day, was I needed to go to work the next day.

If you have questions this book has all the answers! Jul 18, 2010
By Dr. Margaret Cochran
"Host of 'Wisdom, Love and Magic!', available on iTunes"
I had the pleasure of interviewing Chelsea Lowe and Dr. Bruce Cohen on my show Wisdom, Love and Magic! Both Chelsea and Dr. Cohen are very knowledgeable and empathic individuals who have written a wonderful 'how to manual' for bipolar disorder. It is an excellent resource chock full of incredibly valuable information that everyone who is suffering from, or in any way dealing with, bipolar disorder must have!

A warm book on how to handle changing moods, ups and downs, and other behaviors Apr 14, 2010
By Midwest Book Review
Living with Someone Who's Living with Bipolar Disorder: A Practical Guide for Family, Friends and Coworkers provides a warm book on how to handle changing moods, ups and downs, and other behaviors. It's designed as a non-technical, everyday coping guide and offers case histories and stories of how others developed effective coping strategies. General and health libraries will find this important considering the increasing diagnosis of bipolar with all its management implications.
 Lacking. Jan 19, 2012
By scout
"scout"
I guess I'll be the lone dissenter and say I didn't care of this book. I understand that bipolar disorder is a disease, but it seemed like the only advice given was, "You'll just have to forgive them and try to deal with it!" Wife cheated on you with two of your friends? Doesn't matter. Your friend gets together with your husband? Doesn't matter. They have a disease.
I would like to have known more about HOW the disease works, if the person with biploar disorder knowinging engages in awful behavior and remembers it. I've had a friend who has bipolar disorder do some awful things, and I would have appreciated more than just "they can't help it. They're sick. Move on."
 Good descriptions, good advice. Very helpful. Jul 07, 2011
By John
Good descriptions, good advice. Very helpful.
I got this for my Father who is concerned about a family member (not me this time).
Seem to be a very good book to read on the subject.
