5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutly Incredible, 14 May 1997
By A Customer
Having a child with bi-polar illness, this has been absolutly an eye-opener for me. It has given me an insight of what goes on in his mind, by reading Marks words. The medical side of the book has all the info in one place of reference, which is wonderful, for a quick check on the recent drug prescribed, to understanding the diagnosis and why. I have shared this book with teaching professionals working with my child, and it has helped then in understanding where he is coming from and learning to deal with it. Thank You. I would recommend this book for absolutly any one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Make this the one you read!, 15 April 1997
By A Customer
After my mother at 72 was diagnosed with Manic Depression, and finding out she has probably suffered with it all of her life, I searched for a easy to understand account of what we were dealing with. I easily connected with everything that the author was going through in the book. The endless trips to doctors, misdiagnosis, doctor's who really didn't look at the whole picture and seemed to busy for your problem, the frustration watching your loved one suffer. I just wish that I had read this account prior to all the turmoil we experienced these past six months. It was a great aid in understanding what to look for in the future. I recommend it highly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific and informative account of bipolar disorder!
This account will ring true for any mother who has gone through similar circumstances, and bring tears to many eyes. But, like the story of Patty Duke and Dr. Read more
