      the absolute best hands on bipolar guide
    • 2/5
      I read this book because I started working closely with someone who has it. I learned a lot about bipolar, but I think I was hoping to "help" the person in my life who has it. And... I can't. He showed me the papers from the doctor that show he has been diagnosed, but he only admits to having this condition some of the time. For the most part he is unwilling to deal with it. And me reading this book really doesn't help me if he doesn't want to help himself. I became more aware, but that's about it. I still pull my hair out trying to work with this guy.

      So-so. The charts are too cluttered for me to find them helpful, but it does outline the basics in an admirably simple, thorough form.
