Summary of David J. Miklowitz's The Bipolar Disorder Survival Guide, Third Edition

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 Bipolar disorder is a mood disorder that affects at least one in every 50 people. It puts them at high risk for the problems in their family, social, and work lives. With medications, psychotherapy, and self-management techniques, it is possible to control the rapid shifts in mood from manic highs to severe depressive lows.

#2 The inpatient experience can be extremely confusing and frustrating for people with bipolar disorder and their family members. They are usually hungry for information about the disorder, and they need it to understand their experiences.

#3 By the end of this book, I hope you’ll have gotten useful answers to these questions, along with a better understanding of bipolar disorder. I also hope to leave you with a sense of where to turn when the future brings new challenges and you need additional information and advice.

#4 The story of Martha is all too common. Because the nature of the disorder was not explained to her, she thought of the episode as a sort of nervous breakdown requiring only temporary medication. She did not understand that the illness could be recurrent.
