"Essential . . . Not only for the person learning to own their bipolar, but for the support system members and treatment providers walking alongside them." —Sally Spencer-Thomas, PsyD, president, United Suicide Survivor's International

Knowledge is power, and grasping the basics of bipolar disorder can give you the power you need to detect it, accept it, and own the responsibility for treatment and lifelong disease management. With its three-phase approach, Owning Bipolar can help you and your loved ones become experts on an illness that has called the shots in your life for too long. Now it's time for you to take control.

The Pre-stabilization phase and recognition: confronting the causes of bipolar and the effects, including depression, anxiety, loss of energy, avoidance of responsibilities, and suicidal thoughts

The Stabilization phase and acting on it: starting effective medication, accepting the disease, and treating different types of bipolar

The Post-stabilization phase and living with it: undertaking long-term maintenance, accepting your new identity, and coming to terms with your responsibilities and the responsibilities of your caregivers

Accessible and encouraging, and accented with empathetic firsthand stories from people who share the disorder, this book is a vital companion for readers to help them understand, treat, and live successfully with bipolar.

"Will provide clarity and understanding to a seemingly complex and confusing psychiatric condition."—David B. Weiss, MD, FAPA
