Bipolar Disorder Survival Guide: What You and Your Family Need to Know

Excellent book. Though it is would be hard to accept but if you will life would be easy.

I really and honestly liked this Book Most.

The book goes through the stages and would be helpful to anyone suffering from bipolar I or bipolar II. If you've been just diagnosed it will help you to accept the disorder.T hen understand the disorder. Then there is a thorough discussion on medication even alternative therapies like ECT etc. There are strategies on how to cope with this lifelong illness. Before a chapter begins there are anecdotes from other people's life that you can relate to if you are suffering from bipolar, There are mood chart to track your mood and avert a major manic or depressive episodes. It will help you devise backup plans on how to avoid disasters in a manic episode. How to force structure in your life in a depressive episode. How you need to involve your near ones in your recovery and well being.The psychiatrist won't tell you much, the internet is full of complicated and sometimes useless information. This book is what you need if you or your dear one is suffering from bipolar disorder.

I give this to all of my patients. It is the definitive book for bipolar self management with a lot of information for sophisticated knowledge hungry laypeople and their families E even their family practice providers and yet you can skip over the chapters that are Too much information and use it as a long term learning project for the first year. You'll know so much more about taking care of yourself and that can put you back in the driver's seat after being devastated by the new diagnosis. Bipolar disorder does not mean your life has to be turned upside down especially when you have this kind of book written by the same person who writes the professional handbook I prefer.

Explains everything in a good layout

In the wide range of clinical cases exposed i could recognise events, states of minds and personality aspects which I live through the course of my 25 year long disease. In addition to that the book is extremely clear and useful in very specific and many ways. Incredibly well organised in 5 sections it provides a bulletproof skill set on how living a most possibly normal day to day life despite the disease and most importantly many pinpointed tips on how to minimize the conditions and the triggers of each cycle. I have gone through it with my psychiatrist and by the end of that we adjusted my therapy and in a few weeks found out evident benefits. I really commit to encourage everyone who his directly or indirectly connected with the disease to read this book. It’s real value added.
