Summary: You are not alone!!!
Review: This book was instrumental in my excepting the diagnosis of Bi-polar disorder. This book helped me become comfortable with the term bi-polar and it being applied to me. Before reading this book, I felt like bi-polar made me defective, handicapped, less than perfect. Another flaw among the many that I have. After reading this book, not only was I able to accept the illness, but understand it. I didn't feel so alienated. I didn't feel helpless anymore. Thank you Patty for caring enough to share enough.

Summary: Approachable and informative
Review: This very personal testimony by a well known personality is very accessible to people with a range of understandings and offers good explanations of the medical side of things.Unfortunately there are vast numbers of people out there with this illness who never come to accept the reality of it, and as a result destroy themselves and their loved ones. Sadly, books on this subject seem never to be able to speak to such people, and this one is no different. Am I therefore criticising it for not being all things to all people? Maybe, but I crave the book which will speak to the person I love and care for, and this is not it, nor have I found such a book. My search, and my despair continue...
