How to live with Bipolar

HOW TO LIVE WITH BIPOLAR

My aim is to help people who are struggling with bipolar, as well as people who have loved ones affected by this illness.

My easy-to-understand answers are taken from more than 50 years of firsthand experience with this capricious illness. The book covers many subjects in depth: Basic questions about bipolar; help for those coping with the disorder; answers to questions about relationships; coping skills for depression, mania/hypomania, and psychosis. There is also a chapter on anxiety and panic attacks as this affects many people with bipolar.

This book is packed with information given in a conversational style, not from a scientific point of view. My hope is that through my experiences I may be able to help you.

How do I know if I have bipolar?
Can someone with bipolar have a normal marriage?
Are bipolar and personality two separate things?
How can I explain to people what depression is like?
Is bipolar mania an emergency?
Can someone with psychosis lead an ordinary life?
How do I deal with a panic attack?

These are real questions that somebody with bipolar disorder is faced with every day.

You will find the answers to these questions and many more in my book
