Take Charge of Bipolar Disorder: A 4-Step Plan for You and Your Loved Ones to Manage the Illness and Create Lasting Stability

Revised and updated, this book offers a groundbreaking, comprehensive program to help those with bipolar disorder—and those who care about them—gain permanent control over their lives.

Most people diagnosed with bipolar disorder are sent home with the name of a doctor and a bag of medications. However, only 20% of those with the illness are able to get true help with medication alone. Now, bipolar disorder expert Julie A. Fast, who was diagnosed with the illness at age 31, and specialist John Preston, Psy.D., have developed an effective program that helps readers promote stability, reduce the risk of suicide, increase work ability, decrease health care costs, and improve relationships.

Take Charge of Bipolar Disorder guides those with bipolar disorder and their loved ones toward a comprehensive personal treatment plan by incorporating:

• Medications and supplements • Lifestyle changes • Behavior modifications • Guidelines on assembling an effective support team

By helping readers gather these powerful resources, Take Charge of Bipolar Disorder delivers a dynamic program to treat this dangerous, but ultimately manageable illness.
