In the U.S. approximately one percent of the population (2.6 million) have a bipolar disorder - also called manic-depressive illness - characterized by mood cycles of depression and mania (excessive elation, activity, talkativeness, etc.). In this book, the "pieces" that compose the "bipolar puzzle" come together in a unique question-and-answer format. Written by a bipolar sufferer, coauthor Bryan L. Court, typical questions heard in bipolar support groups are provided and each is followed by an in-depth answer. Each topical section also includes an extensive "Psychiatrist's Response" by coauthor Gerald E. Nelson, M.D., who has been working with bipolar disordered individuals for over 20 years. Answering questions about bipolar illness and how to live with it, this book addresses 187 recovery-related questions over the broad range of interest to the patient, family, and friend, and utilizes the same question-and-answer format heard in bipolar support groups. Subjects cover a wide spectrum, including: understanding the illness; treatment methods; medications; attitudes; acceptance; faith; living with the disorder; relationships with friends, family, and psychiatrists; support groups; disability; hospitalization; and employment difficulties. The answers were obtained from a psychiatrist, a labor law attorney, and a hospital worker. A psychiatrist (Nelson) reviewed the answers to the questions and provided a response to each section of the book.
