Format:Hardcover
Two of the most important goals for individuals with Bipolar Disorder are taking appropriate medication and learning about the disorder. Dr. Mondimore makes the latter easy and entertaining. Patients and family members will find this book a valuable resource. As a clinician, I regularly recommend this book to my clients with Bipolar Disorder.

Format:Paperback
This book is an excellent resource of information. The author makes several references to Dr. Jamison who is one of my favorite authors and pioneer in the search for a cure for bipolar disorder. This book is simple, easy to read, straight forward, and informative. It is a book for the entire family who is dealing with bipolar disorder. Dr. F. Mondimore is talking to the reader not at the reader. Job Well Done.

Format:Paperback
Having been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, this book helped tremendously in accepting the illness and dealing with it in a constructive way - one that would keep its impact to a minimum. It uses a mix of medical findings, research evidence and anecdotal experiences to explain what bipolar disorder is and how to best live with it. All areas are comprehensively explained, but without becoming academic - even the explanation of bipolar brain chemistry is understandable. The chapters on preventing mania and depression give invaluable advice on life changes that can help reduce the chance of relapsing. This book helped change the course of my life. I cannot recommend it highly enough, both to people diagnosed with bipolar disorder and their families and friends.
