Bipolar Disorder

Written in an easy-to-navigate question-and-answer format, this useful and compassionate guide explores and explains absolutely everything that someone with bipolar disorder (and those closest to them) needs to know about the condition: from how to recognise the symptoms to how to deal with stigma in the workplace. Drawing on a broad range of expert opinion, the very latest research, numerous real-life case studies, and their own personal experience of bipolar in their family, Sarah Owen and Amanda Saunders offer practical advice and emotional support to inform and empower anyone whose life has ever been touched by bipolar disorder. Sarah Owen has been a health journalist for UK newspapers and glossy magazines, such as Psychologies and Cosmopolitan, for fourteen years. Amanda Saunders has worked as an editor and writer for The National Childbirth Trust in the UK for the last eleven years. The authors are cousins and three members of their close family have been diagnosed with bipolar disorder.
