This is a self-help book that I wrote for those who have bipolar disorder (as I do) and those who have a friend, spouse, or other significant other who is bipolar. It is written for both the patient and the caregiver.

I'm not a mental health professional but I've learned a lot in the 38 years since I was first diagnosed with bipolar disorder. I also have 3 people in my immediate family who had bipolar disorder. So, I've been there on both sides and have a unique perspective and enough first-hand experience to be an "expert", whether I want to or not.

I know what a rollercoaster ride it can be. This book is the sometimes funny/sometimes heartbreaking story of my family's battle with bipolar disorder; and, more importantly, it's a self-help book I've written that shares tips, survival skills, and coping mechanisms I've learned, sometimes the hard way, over the years.

I sincerely hope this book will help you and your loved ones cope with the symptoms of bipolar disorder and you will be able to not only survive but thrive.
