Read a v. Good article on having bipolar. She really described it very well. My doctor gave me it as it is in the british medical journal and it was by the person who wrote the book I thought was so good. Everyone i've loaned both books to thought it was real helpful. Lots of coping skills etc that we all found useful - the naked bird watcher and to walk on eggshells.
