About the Book
Six years ago, journalist John McManamy was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. In this book, he shares his own experiences and those of his fellow patients while offering a guide to making the most out of life with depression and bipolar disorder.
With a compassionate and eloquent voice, McManamy describes his belief that depression is a wide spectrum that reaches from occasional bouts to full-fledged bipolar disorder. He offers a holistic approach to battling depression and BD, including everything from diagnosis to associated illnesses and symptoms to medication and talk therapy and even to how to cope with the effects these disorders have on relationships and sex. The first book to help patients recognize the diversity of their disorder, Living Well with Depression and Bipolar Disorder will help sufferers begin reclaiming their lives.
