Despite medical advances, bipolar disorder continues to plague the world with one of the most challenging and disabling conditions, often with significant misconceptions. Detection, treatment and recovery are possible but the journey is tough and many feel they face it alone. Affecting millions of people worldwide, bipolar disorder causes a person to experience the wildest of euphorias and the deepest of depressions, sometimes even simultaneously. This tragically leads to a 20% suicide rate, a statistic that David and Diane Mariant are desperately working at lowering. This book offers its readers a powerful account and leaves them with a vivid appreciation of the world of a person suffering with bipolar disorder. This compelling and intriguing combination of personal narrative and cuttingedge research is a unique approach that offers the reader new understandings while destigmatizing the disorder and breaking down psychological barriers. It will be of significant value to bipolar sufferers and their loved ones.Mariant, David is the author of 'Surviving Bipolar's Fatal Grip', published 2006 under ISBN 9780977685905 and ISBN 097768590X.
