I consider it a very good book as well, though I choose to use medication. I have come to define my moods as impairing vs. minimally or non-impairing. Perhaps one day I will be able to have severe symptoms without impairment, but until then, I will let the meds prevent the extremes, though I am still outside of the average range of moods. It's good enough of a recovery for me though.

I find it more empowering as in "YOU can do it". In my worst struggle, I came across articles about "trusting your doctor" and having to count on meds and I felt it very disencouraging, the picture of me living rest of my life dependent on others... In the end... it's YOU who really has to grasp the power over yourself. Good news is that it is possible
