First published in 1996. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor &
Francis, an informa company.
In the U.S. approximately one percent of the population (2.6
million) have a bipolar disorder - also called manic-depressive
illness - characterized by mood cycles of depression and mania
(excessive elation, activity, talkativeness, etc.). In this book,
the "pieces" that compose the "bipolar puzzle" come together in a
unique question-and-answer format. Written by a bipolar sufferer,
coauthor Bryan L. Court, typical questions heard in bipolar support
groups are provided and each is followed by an in-depth answer.
Each topical section also includes an extensive "Psychiatrist's
Response" by coauthor Gerald E. Nelson, M.D., who has been working
with bipolar disordered individuals for over 20 years. Answering
questions about bipolar illness and how to live with it, this book
addresses 187 recovery-related questions over the broad range of
interest to the patient, family, and friend, and utilizes the same
question-and-answer format heard in bipolar support groups.
Subjects cover a wide spectrum, including: understanding the
illness; treatment methods; medications; attitudes; acceptance;
faith; living with the disorder; relationships with friends,
family, and psychiatrists; support groups; disability;
hospitalization; and employment difficulties. The answers were
obtained from a psychiatrist, a labor law attorney, and a hospital
worker. A psychiatrist (Nelson) reviewed the answers to the
questions and provided a response to each section of the book.
