 Bipolar Disorder: A Guide for Patients and Families October 24, 2007

This book is compassionate, intelligent and immensely helpful. Dr. Mondimore explains differences in various types of bipolar disorders and offers a real sense of hope to patients, family members and friends. Upon reading his book, I feel more confident in working closely with my doctor to find the right treatment plan and in acquiring tools and strategies for battling this disease. It is truly a resource I plan to revisit often.

One of the best books out there on this topic. Covers all issues and is easy to read for families and even professionals. It has been the most popular book in our Family 2 Family course sponcered by NAMI and is on their list of books that should be read if you or a family member has bipolar illness.
I'm not even bipolar, but I found it very helpful! June 17, 2007

I borrowed this book from a loved one who is bipolar - I wanted to learn more about bipolar disorder. I sometimes suffer from 'regular' depression (which I now know is called "unipolar"). I was reading the book to better understand my loved one, but ended up better understanding my own depression. The book is so detailed but still easy to read. It gives so much information about how the brain works, the chemicals involved, how drugs affect the brain chemistry - the list goes on and on. I came away from reading this feeling like I'd taken a college course in psychology! Seriously! Now I know terms like "reverse diurnal mood variation" and could actually explain it to someone! I now understand that my own depression seems to be seasonal affective disorder - the description fits my symptoms perfectly. They say that knowing (understanding) is half the battle. I like this book so much that, even though I am not bipolar myself, I'm buying my own copy to add to my collection of self-help books. It's great!

I got this book along with 2 others on the subject of Bipolar Disorder. This was my least favorite, a little too technical and scientific. I was looking more for symptoms and ways of coping with the disorder.
