5.0 out of 5 stars A Must for Those Living With a Manic Depressive Person, February 4, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Manic Depression: How to Live While Loving a Manic Depressive (Paperback)

This book is a long-needed answer to prayer for the family members and loved ones living with or loving a bipolar sufferer. There are many books for victims of bipolar disorder, but very little material available for the significant others suffering along with them. This book helps loved ones deal with their own doubts and fears, helps them adjust their own thinking and behaviors to keep their equilibrium when the bipolar's world goes into a whirl, and gives valuable concrete suggestions and HOW TO hints for maintaining inner peace while outwardly dealing with the bipolar's behaviors. "It's not your fault and it's not your responsibility" are the most "free-ing" words a loved one can hear, and this book shows you how to accept and live in that freedom while you love your bipolar.

This review is from: Manic Depression: How to Live While Loving a Manic Depressive (Paperback)

This is an excellent book! It for anybody who has anybody with BiPolar in your life. I myself have the disorder, but the fact is what the people we love go through. It explains alot, and gives help to try in reclaiming yourown inner peace. I know, I have been called a whirlwind myself. We say things we don't mean or even remember and I myself will never know what this actually has done to others. This book is just that for the " others " and was very information and enjoyable reading. I highly recommend this book.

This review is from: Manic Depression: How to Live While Loving a Manic Depressive (Paperback)

This book is not only an easy read, easy on the eyes, the nerves, and the soul, it provides excellent, how-to information for persons who find themselves involved with a bipolar sufferer. You will find understanding and common sense ideas as well as permission not to be engulfed by the problems of your loved one, but to deal with them realistically, as only one who has done herself can relate.
