Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Seven years ago, John McManamy was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Through his successful Web site and newsletter, he has turned his struggles into a lifelong dedication to helping others battling depression and bipolar disorder reclaim their lives. In Living Well with Depression and Bipolar Disorder, he brilliantly blends the knowledge of leading expert authorities with the experiences of his fellow patients, as well as his own, and offers extensive information on:
- Diagnosing the problem
- Associated illnesses and symptoms
- Treatments, lifestyle, and coping
- The effects of depression and bipolar disorder on relationships and sex
With a compassionate and eloquent voice, McManamy describes his belief that depression is a wide spectrum that reaches from occasional bouts of depression to full-fledged bipolar disorder. The very first book to help patients recognize this diversity of the disorder, Living Well with Depression and Bipolar Disorder will help sufferers begin to reclaim their lives.

This book is very helpful for those who suffer from depression or bi polar disease. Highly recommended.

This is an excellent book on bipolar disorder. I found this book had a lot of very well researched information which was presented in a clear manner. An in-depth look at the disorder, treatments, risk factors, symptoms and management. I would reccommend this for anyone living with or caring for someone with the illness. Does not provide plans or clear exercises on management - rather a comprehensive guide to the illness in all its forms.

I have subscribed for years to John's newsletter and am so happy to have a summary of all his work in this book. Even though I am also a researcher in this area, I learned many new facts. Every clinician and patient would be enlightened by reading this book.

This is a very good book. The author suffers from the one of the illnesses he writes about. He KNOWS what he is talking about. Definitely worth buying.

When you read this book I suggest 2 things. #1) You use a highlighter and mark everything that helps you explain your bipolar to your loved ones. #2) and use stick-it notes to tag those pages to make then easy to find your highlights.
This book is very good at explaining the good, bad, and ugly of Bipolar. I like the sections on the meds and how they work.
Also read, An Unquiet Mind by Kay Redfield Jamison, An Unquiet Mind: A Memoir of Moods and Madness
And get a subscription to BP Magazine http://www.bphope.com/ well worth it....
All the best in understanding this difficult condition.
