As I was reading this book, I wondered how the authors were able to witness what was going on in my family. It was like they were flies on the wall - they described my family to a T.

This book has a great deal of useful information for parents new to the diagnosis. It also helped me understand that my son has an illness and it is not due to my parenting.

I highly recommend this book to all who have children diagnosed with bipolar disorder.

This book was exactly as described. It was informative and yet not too medically explicit that I couldn't understand the information being explained. It also held a lot of examples from real families which was also helpful and made me feel like this wasn't just a medical book, it was a tool to help me understand that my child wasn't alone in the world which was comforting to know.
