The fully revised and updated second edition of the bestseller "Loving Someone with Bipolar Disorder" explores all aspects of readers' relationships with partners suffering from bipolar disorder: work, money, sex, medications and their side effects, therapeutic treatments, and more. Also called manic-depressive disorder, bipolar disorder can cause extreme emotional swings, with sufferers alternating between manic and depressive behavior without much warning. In the second edition of "Loving Someone with Bipolar Disorder," the practical advice offered in the original edition is expanded, providing critical new information about medications often prescribed to manage the symptoms of bipolar disorder. Readers will learn how their partners may be affected by medication and what side effects they can expect. Because readers play a crucial role in managing and monitoring their partner's medication, this information is essential for supporting the treatment of individuals with bipolar disorder. Readers discover how to better communicate with their partners, manage their own emotional reactions to their partners' mood swings, and deal with issues related to work, money, and sex. Although this guide is written for the romantic partner of a person with bipolar disorder, thousands of friends and family members of individuals with bipolar disorder have found its realistic and practical advice endlessly useful.
