Summary: Everything you want to know about bipolar disorder
Comment: Lana Castle does an excellent job in writing a broad survey of help available for those with bipolar disorder. Although she herself gets most help from medication, she also advocates exercise, self-help groups, and herbs. Her personal insights from living with her mood changes were refreshing. She even dives into the biochemistry of moods and of why good nutrition can help. Her medication table in the appendix allows one to track the many types of medication.
Living a lifetime as a bipolar myself, I can testify that many of her methods work. Everyone affected by this condition should read this book and refer to it over and over.

Summary: Putting the Puzzle of Mental Illness Together
Comment: For anyone dealing with the devastation of mental illness, this comprehensive book puts the pieces of the puzzle together. It helped me understand what my own bipolar children have been going through for many years and has given me a compassion that was sorely lacking. Thank you for having the courage to share your story and for all the information, guidance, and resources you provide.

Summary: part narrative, part info on bipolar disorder
Comment: I enjoyed this book quite a bit. It reminded me of Patty Duke's "A Brilliant Madness" in that it was partly about the author's own struggle with bipolar disorder and partly about information on the disease. It was pretty well written, well organized, and easy to follow. As I like to gain information on this complex subject from a variety of sources, this book is a worthy addition to any small library of books on bipolar disorder. I also suggest books by Miklowitz, Torrey, and Jamison. Avery Z. Conner, author of "Fevers of the Mind".
