This fully revised and updated second edition of the bestselling Loving Someone with Bipolar Disorder discusses all aspects of readers' relationships with bipolar partners: work, money, sex, medications and their side effects, therapeutic treatments, and more. Also called manic depressive disorder, bipolar disorder can cause extreme mood swings, and people who suffer from this disorder can alternate between manic and depressed behavior without much warning. Loving Someone with Bipolar Disorder, Second Edition, builds on the practical advice offered in the original book by offering critical new information on the medications that are sometimes prescribed to manage bipolar disorder symptoms. Readers will learn how their partners may be affected by medication and what side effects they can expect. Because readers serve an important role in managing and monitoring their partner's medication, this information is essential to supporting the treatment of people with bipolar disorder. Readers discover how to better communicate with their partners, manage their own emotional responses to partners' mood swings, and deal with problems relating to work, money, and sex. Although this guide is written for the romantic partner of an individual with bipolar disorder, thousands of friends and family members of people with bipolar disorder have also found its realistic and practical advice endlessly useful.

This book is one of the best books published for those with bipolar disorder. The content accurately describes the turmoil for the affected individual and those who love him/her. The book is primarily written for the spouse but is an invaluable read for brother, sister, mother, father, friend, co-worker.

Unique perspective and insights
As a psychotherapist I have read many books on bipolar to help patients understand its symptoms and their effects on functioning. This is the best book I've read because one of the writers is bipolar and has researched the subject extensively for her own well being and that of her spouse who is bipolar as well. It's empathic to individuals who suffer with the challenges of depression and mania and those who suffer with them (their family, friends and loved ones). Holistic practical advice is given regarding how to provide a supportive environment to someone with bipolar and just as important, how to recognize the behavior of the illness as part and separate from the bipolar individual in order to protect the self and the relationship. I am inspired by the authors' efforts to respect the impact of bipolar and to honor as well the positive aspects of its' intensity when understood and channeled.
