This is a self-help book that I wrote for those who have bipolar disorder (as I do) and those who have a friend, spouse, or other significant other who is bipolar. It is written for both the patient and the caregiver.I'm not a mental health professional but I've learned a lot in the 38 years since I was first diagnosed with bipolar disorder. I also have 3 people in my immediate family who had bipolar disorder. So, I've been there on both sides and have a unique perspective and enough first-hand experience to be an "expert", whether I want to or not.I know what a rollercoaster ride it can be. This book is the sometimes funny/sometimes heartbreaking story of my family's battle with bipolar disorder; and, more importantly, it's a self-help book I've written that shares tips, survival skills, and coping mechanisms I've learned, sometimes the hard way, over the years.I sincerely hope this book will help you and your loved ones cope with the symptoms of bipolar disorder and you will be able to not only survive but thrive.
