Break the Bipolar Cycle: A Day by Day Guide to Living with Bipolar Disorder by Elizabeth Brondolo, Xavier Amador
3.0
This is not a book for a person at the throws of the bipolar disorders. In an episode of mania, depression and mixed state one could not grasp how to cope because of the state that one is in. With that said it is a good book for if someone during a time od euthymia (normal baseline of mood).
Working through the book I found that there are things that I can improve on and will as I catch myself in certain things like noticing my stress level is at it maxing point or understanding the difficulty of a challenge- example course load for college. The graphs are easy to follow (but sometimes hard to do like the history of your medication especially when there is a gap in memory than to the disorder)
Overall it is a good book for someone who has found some stability and is willing to work through the disorder to prevent relapse or minimize the episode duration.
