| The Bipolar Workbook: Tools for Controlling Your Mood Swings by The Guilford Press This book saved me! |
| This book is so awesome for someone who has been newly diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder. It breaks down the disorder into manageable chunks that make it easier to deal with. It saved me! I am so much more in control now that I have the tools to be so. |
| The Bipolar Workbook: Tools for Controlling Your Mood Swings by The Guilford Press Empowering Tool |
| This is an outstanding tool for anyone who is diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Each exercise provides insight into the patterns and actions caused by the disease. This knowledge is the true value of this book. Here is a book that actually provides tools to recognize symptoms and control them. This is power over the disease and the real win for a patient. A final positive is that the completed workbook is itself a reference tool of personal triggers, disease patterns and treatment therapies. I strongly recommend this to anyone who is diagnosed with bipolar disorder. |
| The Bipolar Workbook: Tools for Controlling Your Mood Swings by The Guilford Press Something for Everyone |
| Having been diagnosed very late in life a few years ago, I constantly research materials that are simple, informative and practical. This book meets all criteria. In fact, I have given it to my therapist who really appreciates it and am now purchasing it for newly diagnosed friends or family members who have BP. It targets all audiences: newly diagnosed; experienced but needs some reminders; experienced but wants to review certain sections; and family members. |
| The Bipolar Workbook: Tools for Controlling Your Mood Swings by The Guilford Press Covers many different angles and stages of Bipolar |
| I wasn't sure what to expect when i ordered this book. A bipolar friend of mine suggested the book (not the workbook) written by Monica Ramirez Basco. I haven't read it yet but plan to. I think the workbook is great. It is a great way to learn to retrain the way you think. There are parts of the workbook that apply to me right now, parts that I've already been through and will probably not read, and parts about things I haven't dealt with yet too. It's one of those things that will help you out now and you can pick it back up months/years later and it will help you again. |
| The Bipolar Workbook: Tools for Controlling Your Mood Swings by The Guilford Press Better for Bipolar I patients, than Bipolar II. |
| It seems to be much more for Bipolar I sufferers. I have Bipolar II and much of the material in the book didn't really apply to me. Though I'm sure it would be good if one had bipolar II, and I'm still working through the book in the areas that do apply to me. |
