Book Reviews of Take Charge of Bipolar Disorder: A 4-Step Plan for You and Your Loved Ones to Manage the Illness and Create Lasting Stability

Book Review: Amazing!
Summary: 5 Stars

This year I ended up in the hospital for severe re-current depression & anxiety- my outpatient psychologist & inpatient therapists all thought there was a mood disorder- but my awful doctor wouldn't hear of it. He put me on a lot of anti-depressants & shoved me out into the world 10 days later.

Everyone was pushing me to go back to work, but I didn't feel right. A month later I ended up in the ER for an overdose- not because I wanted to die- but because my Psychologist/Psychiatrist still knew there was a mood disorder & did nothing to treat it. You can only take so much of feeling like you're living for nothing with no control over yourself.

When I got out of my second inpatient hospital stay a week later, this book was the first thing I picked up. I highly recommend it- it's not just a one time read- it's a guide to go back and read up when you need help. This also helped my mom and the rest of my family tremendously with dealing with my mood swings & how to deal with me. I only wish I'd have picked this up when I had a good feeling I was probably Bipolar in the first place.
