Coping with Bipolar Disorder and Manic-Depressive Illness

By Joann Jovinelly

Book Overview

While in casual conversation people may complain of having a "manic day," few realize the severity and suffering involved in living with bipolar disorder. Here, readers will learn the history of this mood disorder and how frequently it eludes diagnosis. The author also reveals the connection between this pervasive cyclical disorder, substance abuse, suicide, and, interestingly, artistic expression.
