Very Helpful Information

This book really shed a light on bipolar disorder that I wasn't aware of. This book is great if you are struggling with this so you can manage each episode and get the necessary treatment. I like that it also discusses ways families and friends can be supportive and get a better understanding of it. A great listen!

Excellent bipolar support guide!

If you or someone close to you is struggling with bipolar disorder, this book is an empowering support guide for smoothing out the mental and emotional storms that can often occur. The author offers effective calming techniques to manage bipolar episodes in the early pre-trigger stage and even decreasing the outburst if already launched. Brain activity is discussed and gives the reader the understanding that a biological component is involved, helping to diminish the impulse to judge. There is also a discussion regarding ways to repair relationships that have weathered the emotional storms. Understanding is key and guidance is given as to creating support among family and friends. Overall, a wonderful resource!

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.

Inspiring!

After listening to just the first few chapters, I felt inspired and hopeful. The author truly understands the ins and outs of biopolar disorder and has put together a fabulous guide. I loved the section on how to help your friends and family understand biopolar disorder better. This is a very important aspect of living day in and day out with bipolar disorder that other books don't cover. Overall a joy to listen to.
