In my opinion, this book was one of the better books about bipolar disorder. It was very simple and concise and very easy to read and understand. It had interactive charts and lists that you can copy and fill out and take to your psychiatrist and it had additional resources to consult were your thirst for bipolar materials not whetted. Personally, this book plus Miklowitz's Bipolar Disorder handbook are the only two books that I have found, so far, worth your time and money.

I recently found out that someone I know was diagnosed as bi-polar. In an effort to understand what this means, I got several books at the library. Unfortunately, this book is really more of a 'so you are bi-polar.. here is how to talk yourself down when you are in an emotional high, and here is how to manage your medications.' Not what I was looking for, but probably a worthwhile book for individuals and families who live with this.

As someone with bipolar, I didn't really find anything that new or interesting. I did agree with several points, but didn't find much use for it. I give it the stars though because it apparently was very useful to my mother and helped her better understand things I've tried to describe.

A self-help book for people with bipolar (aka manic-depressive) disorder. Covers what the disorder is, getting on medication and psychotherapy and then takes a look into kids and adolescents with the disorder. Into part two of the book, it covers with skills of living with the condition.
I liked the way the book was formatted. It gave plenty of information and then had some very brief worksheets to use in assistance to proactively handle situations and events.

I already knew all of the included information, and anyone who spent twenty minutes reading the WebMD section on bipolar disorder could say the same. Generally worthless, but I appreciate the intent and so won't 'bomb' or 'turkey' this book. There are better books out there for bipolar folks and their families and friends.
