The best-written, most up-to-date book on this topic Jan 24, 2011
By FMB123
I've read numerous books on this topic and am especially impressed with this one. Because the second edition is so recent (2011), it contains the latest research and findings, some of which were new to me. Miklowitz is a wonderful writer who manages to both explain concepts thoroughly and well while not sounding condescending. He addresses topics that other books don't, such as what bipolar disorder looks like to family and friends, and how it feels from the inside. He offers a lot of good information about how to head off mania, managing moods, stabilizing one's environment, dealing with meds, getting a proper diagnosis, succeeding at home and work, and concerns specific to women. Especially valuable is the chapter on where bipolar disorder comes from, and some recent research about Ehlers' social rhythm stability hypothesis. Fascinating. The only topic I would have liked him to include was the role of sunlight in BD--this would have been very helpful to a number of people I know who are very light-sensitive. But otherwise, really great information and suggestions, presented exceptionally well. Highly recommended.

Excellent guide for people with bipolar Mar 11, 2011
By masa2802
I have bipolar disorder and this is the first book I read on the disease. Even in this day and age of internet and easy access to information I found this book tremendously useful. It provides both a broad picture of the disease and many details that bipolar patients face in their lives. After having read the book, I find it easier to accept my illness and I believe I will be more responsible with my life knowing better what my illness is. Some of the points from the book will also be something I will address when next seeing my doctor. I am sure having read the book and being able to use it as reference will improve my relationship with my psychiatrist and will add to my better quality of life with the disease.

Bipolar Survival Guide Review Feb 05, 2011
By jennacat1
This is a must have for every person or family member of a person with bipolar disorder. Full of comprehensive information and told in layman's language without any 'talking down'. (for instance, I learned that a side effect of one of my medications is curly hair!) Covers both traditional and complimentary therapies.

The Best Manual For Survival of Bipolar I've Ever Read! May 30, 2011
By Christina Stachura
"ravenous reader"
This book is fantastic. Dr. Miklowitz tells us how to recognize the warning signs of mania and depression before they become full-blown, how to find the right medication and therapy (which I'm on now), how to prevent mood swings from ruling our lives, and how to stay on track at home and work. The most fascinating sentence in the whole book, if I may quote, which changed my entire life, is this: "Even though bipolar disorder is clearly a disorder of the brain, and its genetic and biological underpinnings are well-documented, it is still treated as a 'mental illness.' Many people still erroneously believe it is erroneously related to your personal choices or morals. As a result, you may feel alienated from others when they find out about your disorder." Hallelujah, Dr. Miklowitz! He has said what I have always felt, and he continues in this logical yet compassionate stance all the way through the book. Above all, you will feel hope. Hope that you can do something to help the seemingly uncontrollale symptoms of your disorder. Run, do not walk, and buy this book!
