Samenvatting:

This self-help book describes how I've managed to survive and thrive with bipolar disorder for over 25 years. It offers tips on how to pick a good psychiatrist, how to handle depression, anxiety and insomnia, and how to help a loved one who's going through a manic episode. It shares with you the lessons I've learned, sometimes the hard way, over the years and also explores the "good crazy" side of being bipolar--and yes, there are some good sides, believe it or not. Many with this disorder are good artists, writers, and musicians. Many are also well-organized and have good sex lives. As the best psychiatrist I ever had told me, "You're lucky. You're in good company." It's all up to you--the person who has bipolar disorder--to decide if you're lucky or not. To decide if your glass is half-full or half-empty. I sincerely hope my book will help you and your loved ones. It has received Five and Four Star Reviews.
