Format:Paperback
I have found this another useful book on the subject and like the information included about the actual diagnosis etc. I think it can be a very useful resource for both sufferers and for families and friends. When it comes to the 'workbook' aspects of the book I have struggled to use this in a constructive way and felt the need to discuss many procedures with others in order to understand. But with the help of a therapist it can be worked out and I like to have a written record of the involved issues.
Useful book but a little difficult to use

I am a wife/carer of someone who lives alongside Bi Polar [of course was commonly known as Manic depression]
This publication is what I would call an #all rounder# its good for those that can monitor their illness and see where there mood swings and gradious ideas are coming from, or if they are on a level or not as there are worksheets to tick.
I know when my husbands mental health is sliding but he doesn't always recognize the signs so it gives me a solid visual aide to show him.
I lent this book to my husbands CPN [community phychiatric nurse] ..sorry for spelling....not my best attribute! She has now recommended this book to many at the clinic including doctors, its one of the best publications I have come across and I have been in this cycle of mental health because of my husbands illness for over 28 yrs now. So I kid you not, you won't be disappointed as a sufferer, or a carer, or a practitioner.

wonderful

I had been looking for a guide/workbook for this. Most books don't cover exercises in depth to help and the few guides I have found, frankly were written so poorly they were of no use.
Then I discovered the Bipolar workbook! All I can say is WOW! Lots of exercises for dealing with bipolar, depression. Dealing with the highs and the lows- or worse. Dealing with your diagnosis. Accepting it. (And I have never seen acceptance in any bipolar book)
Start 2006 off right and get this new book if you are bipolar or have a friend who is.

Excellent resource!

Format:Paperback
I recommend this to all my clients with Bipolar Disorder that I see in my private practice. This well-written workbook allows clients to easily grasp how to recognize triggers and better manage symptoms. Medication management is only half the battle, and this workbook teaches clients to appropriately manage the other half.

A beginners outlook
11 Jan 2007
Format:Paperback
I enjoyed this book. I really wasnt aware of all my symptoms before a manic episode or before hitting a really low place. I got a chance to monitor and track where I was each day and thought the book provided an excellent source of education for people who are newly diagnosed with bipolar disorder. If you are more advanced in your studies with bipolar though and understand how it works, what happens, some parts may bore you. But the workbook part was excellent.
