Surviving Manic Depression is the most authoritative book on this disorder, which affects more than two million people in the U.S. alone. Based on the latest research, it provides detailed coverage of every aspect of manic depression-from understanding its causes and treatments to choosing doctors and managing relapses-with guidance drawn from the latest scientific information. Drs. Torrey and Knable provide thorough, up-to-date coverage of all aspects of the disease, including a detailed description of symptoms (with many direct descriptions from patients themselves), risk factors, onset and cause, medications (including drugs still in the testing stage), psychotherapy, and rehabilitation, as well as information about how the disease affects children and adolescents. Here too are discussions of special problems related to manic depression, including alcohol and drug abuse, violent behavior, medication noncompliance, suicide, sex, AIDS, and confidentiality. Surviving Manic Depression also includes special features such as a listing of selected websites, books, videotapes, and other resources.

Agents in My Brain gives vivid descriptions of the grandiose delusions and paranoid delusions that type-one manic depressives get. It also shows that when you get the right medication and some talk therapy, you can recover. Bill Hannon has led support groups for the Depression & Bipolar Support Alliance since 1987. He is a guest lecturer in college psychology classes. Bill now lives in St. Paul, Minnesota. Bipolar disorders directly affect over 2.5% of the US population, and indirectly affect many more friends and family members. Bill Hannon has written a moving and gritty first-hand account of Bipolar I disorder. He describes its effects, how treatment works, and insights into why treatment sometimes doesnt work. He explores in great detail his experiences with delusional thinking as part of a years-long story of recovery and perseverance. Recommended to those patients, family and friends looking to understand themselves and others with affective disorders. This book is also prescribed for professionals seeking to better appreciate what their patients experience outside (or inside) the office walls. Warren Pendergast M.D. Medical Director Emeritus. NC Physicians Health Program Agents in My Brain offers an extremely interesting and painful glimpse into the mind of an individual suffering from manic depressive illnessAs a professor of psychology who teaches a course on the psychobiology of mental disorders, I am always on the lookout for books that provide first-hand accounts of mental dysfunction. This one fills a void in my reading list. Lawrence Wichlinski Ph.D. Professor of Psychology, Carleton College In Agents in My Brain, Bill tells the story of his struggle to find the right combination of medical professionals, medications, and support systems to understand and to manage his bipolar behavior. The journey was difficult, confusing, and often overwhelming. Yet Bill survived AND thrived! An inspirational story, Agents in My Brain is a testament to the spirit to overcome within each of us. I thank Bill for having the courage to share his life experiences with those of us who continue to search for the total cure. (Bills regular closing comment in our bi-monthly support groups). Cindy.

You need to take control of your life and stop letting it control you. Take a walk through my life and learn a life worth of strategies, to help you throughout yours! These are some of my comments from my book site regarding this book: Hi Lyn; I have just read your first three chapters. Brutal, is the word that comes to mind. This is brutal in its honesty and self-assessment. But I felt it was the consistent theme of honesty that made the traumatic events of your life, and the situation you found yourself in, so engrossing. You can't help but feel that this is just the sort of read that really would help someone with depressive tendencies. I thought your instruction to 'not blame yourself as it is a chemical imbalance' absolutely spot on and also to 'not judge'. Simple yet important, advice spoken by someone who knows. The text is great This is one book as a reader that you can thoroughly recommend to others. RMA (Richard) The Snow Lily I read all of your upload, and I think this will be really a really useful tool to help people that are suffering from this illness. What I would have liked more of, are the stories of your own experiences scattered throughout. The tales that you did include were really interesting, although bizarre and baffling. This made me see how you were seeing things at the time, and it was very insightful. I am always appalled by the authorities when I read stories like this. I wonder how people get into these jobs. Misdiagnoses, negligence and abuse seem so rife, even today. I think you've done a great job coming up with this management plan, and I hope it helps a lot of people.. Take care, Jes. Up the Hill Backwards Blimey, I could be reading my own story here. This is spooky, but I'll try to remain calm and logical about it: ) Drugs, parents in bed, the fear the weird goings on in the head all the time. Good grief! I think I've found a soul mate. Your opening and first chapter have me hooked, so I will have put on on my watch list and read more. I love your style. It is really down to earth and gutsy. Cant's see any flaws to write home about However, it's a darn sight better than my first draft. Six stars xx Catherine Shaw A Painted Smile Hi Lyn, I found your writing style very captivating and honest. Manic depression and bipolar disorder is very common among women (probably hormones and DNA inheritance is also playing a major role here) so I found your true story very thought-provoking and informative as well. This book should be published very soon, as you've shared your real life experiences in an open way, without banning any issues. Best wishes, Lucette- Ten Deep Footprints I found this book very informative, but not in a black and white kind of way.It was very open and welcoming, allowing the reader to absorb the concepts, without being overwhelmed by the content. You really take the reader in with your captivating writing style. Overall, I found what I've read so far to be wonderfully written and I feel it will be very useful. Kudos and high stars, Ally The Shadow's Touch

In 1987, Judy Eron married a brilliant man. Her husband, Jim, was bipolar but remained stable until a vacation the couple took in June 1996, when he forgot to bring his prescribed lithium and quickly launched into a year-long manic phase. His mania culminated, inevitably, in severe depression that led to his suicide in October 1997. During those confusing and frightening months, Jim became a stranger to Judy. Even she, a mental health counselor, and he, a psychologist, could not prevent Jim's downward spiral, although as she now knows, there were many "wrong" choices that Judy could have avoided making. During Jim's prolonged manic phase, Judy was unable to find any literature focused on the manic element of bipolar disorder. After his death, she set out to write the kind of book she had sought. What Goes Up... is more than just Judy's story of loving and living with someone in the manic phase. Drawing on her experience as a mental health counselor, Eron offers advice and coping strategies for readers with loved ones or friends who also suffer from this illness. She provides advice on what they should expect from someone in the midst of a manic episode, how to engage with that person, how to get help for that person, and how to maintain their own sanity and strength in the face of such unpredictable and intense behavior.

How You Can Survive When They Re Depressed written by Anne Sheffield and has been published by Harmony this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 1998 with Family & Relationships categories.
Each year more than 17 million Americans suffer from a depressive illness, yet few suffer in solitude. How You Can Survive When They're Depressed explores depression from the perspective of those who are closest to the sufferers of this prevalent disorder--spouses, parents, children, and lovers--and gives the successful coping strategies of many people who live with a clinical depressive or manic-depressive and often suffer in silence, believing their own problems have no claim to attention. Depression fallout is the emotional toll on the depressive's family and close friends who are unaware of their own stressful reactions and needs. Sheffield outlines the five stages of depression fallout: confusion, self-doubt, demoralization, anger, and finally, the desire to escape. Many people will find relief in the knowledge that their self-blame, guilt, sadness, and resentment are a natural result of living with a depressed person. Sheffield brings together many real-life examples from the pioneering support group she attends at Beth Israel Medical Center of how people with depression fallout have learned to cope. From setting boundaries to maintaining an outside social life, she gives practical tactics for handling the challenges and emotional stresses on a day-to-day basis.
