• Amazing!
  This year I ended up in the hospital for severe re-current depression & anxiety- my outpatient psychologist & inpatient therapists all thought there was a mood disorder- but my awful doctor wouldn't hear of it. He put me on a lot of anti-depressants & shoved me out into the world 10 days later.

If I were to boil it down to one sentence, it would be: "To cope with bipolar disorder, you must let go of all your dreams, stick rigidly to a schedule and never, but never drink coffee or eat sugar again."

  My husband of 13 years was recently diagnosed with bipolar disorder type 2. In an effort to try to understand his recent upheaval of our entire life, I bought this book. The author was bipolar herself and struggled for many years to get her life back together. It is easy to read and gives a lot of helpful hints for people like me. I gave it to my husband to read as well, and he really did find a lot of the suggestions to be helpful. There are lots of exercises you can do either together or alone, if the... more info
