I'd give it my my husgband, but I don't think he's ready for it yet, since he doesn't think I have anything wrong with me.

I wouldn't mind a book that has some useful information related to the thorny relationship issues that can rise up. In my case, it's between parent and child but I'd imagine marriage partners can go through their own difficulties in that regard. Does Someone You Love is Bipolar address any of those issues? If so, do the suggestions sound practical and workable?

Is this the book Feeling Sad?

Someone You Love is Bipolar?

Source: When Someone You Love is Bipolar

Googlebooks has some more info as well: When Someone You Love is Bipolar

I haven't yet purchased any books specifically related to bipolar disorder although amazon has plenty of options for me to choose from: Bipolar Disorder.

I'll certainly consider getting this one but I also need to take a look at some of the other book recommendations. Much thanks for drawing attention to it.
