Summary: The book on Bipolar disorder
Comment: Dr. Torrey's "Surviving Schizophrenia" has long been the "bible" for people suffering from that illness and their families. Now, thankfully, the author (who in a Washington Post porfile was called, 'the most famous psychiatrist in America') explains the complexities of manic depression in an understandable way that few come close to. For anyone who has or loves someone with manic depression, this is your manual. When it comes to this confounding condition, there are not always answers but what answers there are are in this book.

Summary: A thorough guide to manic-depressive illness
Comment: I found this book to provide a thorough, well-written description of manic-depressive illness, as well as practical advice for how to live with it. Nearly everyone will learn a lot about the disease by reading this book. It should be read by everyone with the illness, as well as their family and friends. Along with "The Bipolar Disorder Survival Guide", this is required reading for anyone who wants to gain a practical understanding of the illness. Avery Z. Conner, author of "Fevers of the Mind".

Summary: The Best Book of Its Type
Comment: I have read several intelligently written books on the subject of manic depression. I have suffered from the disorder for twenty-six years and have not been able to find a better book on the subject. Chances are the new paperback edition, which should be updated to include new medications, will be even better than this book.

I have read several books by E. Fuller Torrey, who is, to my knowledge, America's most reliable and caring psychiatrist for the severely mentally ill.
