Thank you for sharing this Gayla. I’ve read many books (and soooo much information on Bipolar) but, strangely, I’ve not heard of this book. I’m on my way to order it now. A couple of lines in your article really jumped out at me
“consume every hour, every minute, every second” and
“Bipolar, while a terrible diagnosis for the one suffering the illness, it has such a tremendous impact on those closest to them”
So very true.
Thanks again,
Sue

Excellent review, Gayla. I’m so glad I stopped in here today. Bipolar lives at our house, too – myself and maybe one of my children. I am definitely putting this book on my Amazon wishlist! Thank you so much for telling us about it!

Tea Party Girl – yes, I’d recommend it to anyone who has a loved one with BPD.

BelindaLouWho – it is so sad that so many have suffered in silence when there are treatments that can and do help. It’s all a matter of finding the right one.

So am I right in hearing you recommend this book even when it’s the PARENT in the family who suffers with the disorder and not just a child?

Great post. Thanks. I will definitely check this out.

Thanks for passing along this book for people who have family, friends and/or coworkers who are living with BiPolar Disorder.

I had a boss who was only four years older than me. I didn’t understand his mood disorders (which could be mild to extremely horrible). He grew a successful business and we became close friends….but then drifted apart because of his illness (my husband didn’t want to have anything to do with him).

After his death from suicide, I learned that he had BiPolar. I wasn’t surprised, but I was naive as to what exactly that disorder was. I learned a lot after his death, and wished I knew more about what he was going through while he was alive. Thanks for sharing this book with all of us.
