This book is about a man that walked the first years of his life undiagnosed with bipolar disorder and somehow managed to rise above and become a success. He struggled with alcoholism, self-induced homelessness, and emotional instability that led to both physical and spiritual torment. In the midst of his crisis he lost many friends and opportunities, but somehow found his way to a doctor. From there he was diagnosed with bipolar and hence fought to reclaim his life back. This was an amazing read as a parent to a bipolar child. It allowed me to look through the mind of a person suffering from this illness. However, it reminded me that a person who is diagnosed with bipolar is just that; a person with bipolar. He or she should be treated with both love and respect. Bipolar is a disease of the brain, but it is like any other ailment that can be treated. Why should one person be treated differently if they have heart failure rather than bipolar? Both are treatable and both most often have people leading normal lives with the direction of their doctors and medications. I highly recommend this book for both parent, patient, doctor, etc. It is a great reminder that those that suffer from a unique illness can move beyond their sickness and redefine their experiences into something positive for the community. I have much respect for this author! You are amazing!!!!!!!… (mehr)
