...just finished reading a new book titled "Break the Bipolar Cycle".  It is written by 2 psychologists and is an easy read with lots of charts and mood symptom calculators.  I think it would be really helpful for someone newly diagnosed with BSD..or Bipolar Spectrum Disorder as it is called in the book.  There are case examples and chapters on the neurobiology of  BPD.  I really enjoyed the case examples...
I don't know of any other book on the subject of Bipolar Disorder that is as state-of-the-art, comprehensive and accessable (i.e. readable) as "Break the Bipolar Cycle". .....Most of all, the book offers a practical and hopeful picture of what it is like to live with this illness and how to take control and make the best life possible for yourself, your loved-ones and your clients.
I found this to be one of the best written, clear, and practical books for the lay person on mental health that I have read in a long time. I learned a lot about bipolar disorder even though I am in the mental health field. People who suspect they may be bipolar spectrum even if not frankly bipolar should read this book and get their families to read it too.
