Bipolarized II: An Inside Guide to the "Other" Bipolar Disorder
Pop quiz : Is Bugs Bunny bipolar? Was Winston Churchill? How about Margot Kidder, Henry VIII, and Frank Sinatra?*
What about you?
If you're one of the roughly 4 percent of the population with diagnosed bipolar disorder-or the even smaller percentage with bipolar II-join the club.
Bipolar disorder is mental illness. It's manic depression. It's serious. If you've just been diagnosed, however, take You haven't joined a secret society. We manic-depressives are everywhere, and you already know some of us. You're not alone.
Bipolarized II (written by a practicing BP II) can help you make sense of a serious but misunderstood mental illness-the only one with an up side. With luck, it may make you laugh, too. If you're looking for gloom and doom, don't look here. But if you're up for an irreverent guide to a quirky condition, this is the place.
Take You're not crazy. You're only bipolar.
* Why not, no, yes, probably not, and yes.

About the author

18 books4 followersLibrarian note: There is more than one author in the Goodreads database with this name.
K. Simpson's saw Bram Stoker's Dracula one too many times in the fall of 1992. The whole Devil's Workshop series essentially started there. Or maybe it started in childhood. Simpson always loved Halloween, ghost stories and vampire movies; she still likes almost everything in that genre, from Edgar Allen Poe to Elvira. She thinks it's all a form of theater, which may be why it appeals to her. She has no known personal demons, doesn't worship the Devil and doesn't work for an ad agency. But she is from the Midwest and does know a little too much about advertising people. She's even worked for companies so crazy that they make J/J/G look like IBM. That's not necessarily a bad thing. She hates being bored.
K. Simpson would sell her soul for rock & roll, but that’s about it. She keeps an unholy mix of ’80s music and Virgin Radio tracks on her iPods, and will neither confirm nor deny owning any ABBA.
