5.0 out of 5 stars for all people..., March 9, 2011

This review is from: Bipolar Disorder, Causes, Symptoms, Signs, Diagnosis and Treatments - Illustrated by S. Smith (Kindle Edition)

Finding resources to give clients whose family members require care following a manic/hypomanic episode has always been a challenge because there are not many materials out there that make it easy to understand bipolar disorders. This book is an excellent resource for me and I have recommended it to many colleagues. It help all people understand what a bipolar disorder is all about and provides evidence based guidelines on the roles of relatives and health care providers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Is My Best Friend Bipolar?, September 14, 2011

This review is from: Bipolar Disorder, Causes, Symptoms, Signs, Diagnosis and Treatments - Illustrated by S. Smith (Kindle Edition)

This book can be a huge help in understanding someone close to you who has bipolar disorder. For the longest time, I got frustrated with my best friend because I didn't understand her behavior and moods. After reading this book, I have a better understanding of the disorder and a better grasp of why her behavior isn't always what I expected. The issue was my misunderstanding of the illness, not the disorder itself. It was a tremendous help in the whole process of learning how I can help my friend when times get tough.

I have a friend recently diagnosed with Bipolar disorder. This book was a great way for me to learn more about it and learn to help her cope. It helped me recognized what moods were really my friend and what were symptoms of her disease.
