DESCRIPTION:
"Finally! Someone who can put to words how we feel!" according to Amazon Customer. I'd give it 10 stars, if Amazon let us! As a fellow "cycler" (as my family calls bipolar life), I could REALLY relate. The irony of this disorder is how well some of us manage to hide it from co-workers and others not in our immediate circle. I went looking on Amazon for info for myself. Imagine my surprise when I saw this book!I've known Ann for about 20 years and yet had no idea she traveled this hell too. I highly recommend this book to any. pleased I purchased the book for my nephew who suffers from Bi polar disorder I didn't read the book but nephew likes it. I graduated from high school with the author many years ago. She had mentioned at our last class reunion, that she suffered from Bipolar disorder and that she had written a book on the subject, this being the reason I ordered the book.. Wonderful memoir. Larry M. It's true that I'm the author, but this is a terrific book. Four book awards attest to that fact!
The other ninety percent know someone who struggles to cope - a spouse, partner, parent, sibling, child, relative, or friend. Overcoming depression takes work - sometimes just getting through every minute of every hour of the day is all that can be donebut it can be done.. One out of ten is afflicted with this illness. Do you know someone who is depressed? Do you live with someone suffering from depression? Are you depressed? Would you like to learn strategies to cope with depression? Being depressed is not a factor of personal weakness. Depression affects everyone. Family and friends want to help, but don't know how
Landy, PhD ""Professor of Psychology"". There are few other treatments as authentic or comprehensive."" -- Frank J. ""The book's stunning description of the reality of depression is one of the most compelling I have ever encountered. What makes it extraordinary is the author's ability to describe and integrate the personal, familial, and social context of her illness
