Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Bipolar disorders are among the more common conditions affecting humankind and are, consequently, leading causes of disability worldwide. These illnesses are dynamic and complex, so that identifying them and then provide optimal management can be challenging. Because of this complexity, these conditions often comprise a disproportionate amount of most psychiatric practices, as specialty care that exceeds what can be delivered by other practitioners is often required. With these challenges in mind, we created this book to provide a comprehensive, readable review of these illnesses with chapters written by international experts in bipolar disorder"--

Download or read book Battling Bipolar Disorder written by Christina Solak-Goodwin and published by Aberdeen Bay. This book was released on 2011-03-01 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I was twenty-six years old and had just endured my second committed psychiatric hospitalization for suicidal depression when I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. At that time, I had no idea how sick I was-and would later become. Battling Bipolar Disorder, a Memoir chronologically reports the pain, despair and hopelessness of a woman suffering from mental illness for seventeen years. My first-person, present-tense story recounts 11 suicide attempts (that I can remember), multiple failed medication trials, electric shock treatments (a last resort that fails) and numerous psychiatric hospitalizations. Even though during many of these episodes I was-and still am-a licensed professional mental health therapist myself, I continue to deny my illness and often refuse treatment, which, of course, results in reckless behaviors. I continually ride a physical, mental and emotional roller coaster. Battling Bipolar Disorder, A Memoir is both graphic and seductive. Readers will be intrigued with the inner workings of mental institutions, suicidal plans and relationships between the bipolar patient and both her family and mental health doctors. These physicians fall into categories of the good, the bad and the ugly.

Download or read book A Memoir of Love and Madness written by Rahla Xenopoulos and published by Penguin Random House South Africa. This book was released on 2011-03-28 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1992, Rahla Xenopoulos was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Despite the devastating diagnosis, she sought education on her affliction. Although she found an abundance of literature on various mental illnesses, none of it seemed applicable to her. This situation inspired her to write a book chronicling her ongoing efforts to come to terms with a disease that is, in effect, a life sentence. The book recounts her upbringing in an eccentric, loving Jewish family, her struggle with bulimia, anorexia and self-mutilation, her attempts at suicide, finding true love and, finally, the ‘crazy, utterly unpredictable experience of giving birth to triplets’. This is neither a self-help book nor a medical guide. Reading this book will not cure anyone; bipolar disorder is a chronic illness. But it did help Rahla - as it will countless others - ‘to understand the rhythm in the cacophony of this condition’.
