Summary: Best Book on Bipolar Illness
Comment: I'm very disappointed to not see Dr. Fieve's book entitled "MoodSwing" on the list of books for this illness. It is truly one of the best out there.

Rating: 5
Summary: Great to share with Family Members
Comment: As someone struggling with Bipolar Disorder for the past three years, I must say the hardest struggle is getting those around me to understand what I'm going through. While they are supportive - they just don't really "get it". This is a book that's been passed to my husband, my mother, my father, and some other relatives as I try to help them understand the illness so they can be even more supportive. This book really fills the need for information they have. Much recommended!!

Summary: It may raise more questions than your doctor wants to answer
Comment: This book is great. And very well researched.

He does a good job letting us know that there are differences in the types of medications prescibed for rapid cycling vs. "traditional" bipolar. And he gives us some accurate scales to describe the degree of mania or depression.

The case studies are very well chosen, and each person who reads this book should be able to find a bit of themselves contained therein.

Very important: The reading level is very light and it reads like a magazine. Sometimes, these bipolar books tend to go bipolar: Either they read like a medical journal, or they read like a romance novel. Miklowitz has found the happy medium.
