Product Description

Review

"A  practical, straightforward book that will be a great help to those who have bipolar illness, as well as their families. I could not recommend this book more highly." - Kay R. Jamison, author of An Unquiet Mind

"The author’s expertise, compassion, and experience are evident throughout....Well worth reading and remembering." - NAMI Advocate

"Recommended for patient education libraries and medium and large public libraries." - Library Journal

"This book has been a faithful friend in the difficult time since my diagnosis. I particularly appreciate the insights into communicating effectively with doctors, family, and friends after an episode. The charts, lists, and practical tools are amazing for those of us who like to be proactive and organized. But the best part of the book is the quotations from others with the disorder who share their experiences and feelings. I've said some of these exact things myself; seeing them here helps me feel just a little bit less isolated and more hopeful." - N.B., Colorado, USA

Bi-polar information 25 Feb 2011
Format:Paperback
My neice thinks she has bi-polar and is in the process of being diagnosed (or not). I wanted to find out more about bi-polar generally and also to look at ways to help her and her family if she is diagnosed. The book is Amerian based but really is useful as there are parts to fill in making it a work in progress book too. There are lots of case histories and it answers the many questions that are raised when faced with bi-polar. I have learned a lot already and would recommend this very latest edition.

The best-written, most up-to-date book on this topic 24 Jan 2011
By FMB123 - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
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 11 Mar 2011
By masa2802 - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
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 5 Feb 2011
By jennacat1 - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
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.
