I understand it so much better now

Before this I didn’t understand bipolar disorder. This book helped me learn a lot and I was actually surprised by how many things there were that I didn’t just not understand but I actually had the totally opposite idea from what was actually going on. This helped correct many misconceptions that I had. I like that I didn’t just explain what this disorder is but also give steps for repairing relationships.
