Book Review "Living with Someone Who's Living with Bipolar Disorder" by Chelsea Lowe

I just finished reading this book and it has now gone to the top of my list for books on bipolar. It is written for spouses and family members for those diagnosed, but like many diagnosed with BP, I was first a family member of a person diagnosed before I was diagnosed myself. My mom has been diagnosed BP I since I was young child and I was diagnosed BP II when I was 31 (I'm 34 now).

This book would be great for a person diagnosed, family member or significant other. My favorite chapters were Chapter 7 "Bipolar Disorders and the Workplace" and Chapter 8 "Communication and Coping Skills". What I also liked about it is it shared personal stories of couples and family members who have been affected by a person diagnosed with bipolar.

It was published in 2010, so it's information is up to date. If you are looking for a book for yourself, a family member or significant other I would highly recommend this book.

Thanks Blue!

Thanks Blue, Im so grateful there's books like that out there, will let you know what i think

Thank you, Blue. My daughter left therapy twice just before the diagnosis came out of the psychiatrists mouth.
I'm looking for something to read to help me learn how to communicate with her and deal with her moods and impulsive decisions that affect my life.
I may have to find this in a library.
