This, along with dyslexia and ADHD, is in my gene pool. Good read. I like the 'new hope' part. If this is in your gene pool, I would encourage you to read. The reviews in Good Reads and Amazon are pretty much spot on for me.

A must read for newbie Bipolars. You need to know all the inter-community lingo and information. I have my own copy.

This book was one of the most comprehensive books I have read so far on bipolar disorder. I have read many books on this topic which I suffer but this book is about the best to date. I found the book to have a lot of useful and informative which I believe will help me anf countless others. A lot of books on bipolar only discusses the illness itself. As this is a self-help book for bipolar patients, anyone who reads it can get good information of how to improve their lives and live with the disorder.

Very helpful book in understanding bipolar disorder. It addresses many different aspects including symptoms, treatment, support systems, living with someone with the disorder, etc.
The only thing was I wish it went deeper into some of the self-help techniques. Overall a great book for someone recently diagnosed or a family member of someone with bipolar disorder.
