Review:

"I wish that this superb book had been around when I was growing up with a father with bipolar. It is packed with practical advice for those with the condition and their families on every aspect of the illness - and some astonishing first-hand accounts. It will provide a huge amount of comfort - and help." -- Editor of the Sunday Express and author of The Father I Had

"This excellent new guide to bipolar is structured around the kind of key questions that anyone encountering the condition for the first time would want to ask." --Pendulum - The Journal of MDF The Bipolar Organisation

"With its useful glossary and many in-line notes of explanation, this book could provide a good initial orientation to bipolar disorder for the newly-diagnosed, their families and carers." -- Your Voice - Member magazine of mental health charity "Rethink"
