Ratings and reviews

So informative and helpful. I am so thankful there is a book out there that is specific towards those of us who have Bipolar 2, so many times I've only been able to come across Bipolar 1 workbooks. This truly helps you understand the illness more and coming to terms with it. I find myself quite often questioning myself at times but once I did/do these exercises and go back and re-do them or need reassurance it's plain as day. This is by far the best Bipolar book I've ever come across and it's not boring like so many others.

Very useful advice for people with BPII. I've found myself drawing upon the suggestions from the sections on depression, hypomania, and anxiety multiple times. I also complete the provided Diary Card daily, which has been very helpful for mood tracking. Definitely worth the price if you want to improve your life in meaningful ways.

My mother suffered from bipolar 1 disorder. Her first episode was in the early 70s and it was still referred to as being manic depressive. I was 11 years old and came home from school to a mother that was laughing, crying, dancing to music that was never listened to in our house. We were NPR people. That was the beginning of the rest of our lives with a crazy mom. She was a poet and an artist. I am an artist and some people say I am crazy.
