Book Reviews of The Bipolar Disorder Survival Guide: What You and Your Family Need to Know

Book Review: Refining the chaos
Summary: 5 Stars

I've suffered from bipolar disorder since I was 9. After countless misdiagnoses (including ADHD, multiple personality disorder and paranoid schizophrenia), I was finally diagnosed shortly after my 18th birthday. Had this book been around when I was a child, maybe all that pain and confusion could have been avoided. A clear, well-written book, it brilliantly conveys everything families and sufferers need to know about this most complex of illnesses. It doesn't fall into the usual trap of assuming that you have a long family history of bipolar disorder, or that lithium is the only thing for you - it's written humanely, looking into all aspects and possibilities. Highly recommended.
