This book\articles is simply the easiest book I have read on bipolar affective disorders. There is so much information on there concerning every aspect of bipolar and it explains it clearly and in English.

What I found very interesting is that panic disorder and anxiety disorders are common in people with bipolar. I was of the belief that each of these disorders which I often experience were completely separate and nothing to do with having bipolar. Reading this book today has in fact made me feel a bit better and has given me even more understanding of this disorder.

I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to know more about bipolar affective disorders.

I hope it is okay to say this here.

More than ok. And I second that - I read it this morning too and really felt that I understood the disorder much better.

I think I need to clarify something I said earlier .

I was of the belief that each of these disorders which I often experience were completely separate and nothing to do with having bipolar.

a person can experience any of these disorders without having bipolar, they each in their own right are separate but can occur simultaneously. comorbid??

I do not know if I am wording this properly, if someone knows what I mean please feel free to edit and correct.

I think I will have to send away for a hard copy. Something about the printed page.
