About this listen

For anybody familiar with the condition known as bipolar 2, you will probably know how difficult and distressing the condition can be. Bipolar 2 Disorder is a condition most commonly characterized by at least one hypomanic (happy) episode and one major depressive episode.

Firstly, what is bipolar 2? Bipolar 2 disorder, is a type of mental illness that is very similar to bipolar 1 disorder. Typically, people suffering from bipolar 2 will experience severe mood swings and changes, alternating from periods of extreme lows, to highs over time.

The only real difference between bipolar 1 and 2 is that in bipolar 2, the person suffering from the condition will never experience what is known as full on "mania" type highs. The less-intense elevated moods in bipolar 2 disorder are known as "hypomania" or hypomanic episodes. Generally, people suffering from bipolar 2 disorder will have, or will experience at least one hypomanic episode in their life. Unfortunately, people suffering from this condition also suffer spells of depression, sometimes quite severe. This is where the term "manic depression" comes from.

The actual reading is good but the audio quality is subpar compared to other audible books. Other than that this is a good introduction on how to deal with bipolar type 2. If you can get over the audio quality this book should be fine.

the audio recording was pretty bad

The book is very basic, I expected to have a deeper survival guide, not like eat healthy, exercise, but more on how to detect the episodes and some kind of guide to help to overcome the episode aside of attending to the doctor and taking the medicine.

the narrator sounds like a kid reading from a textbook. the price is right though, if you can get past her grating voice. info seems solid.

ok, but somewhat abrupt

I think it would be helpful to anyone who is trying to figure out if they have the disorder

Informational nice and short

but they're all superficial. If you're looking for in-depth explanations then don't bother with this book. The narrator was very dry and bland, it was hard to stay focused while she was reading.

Do not make the mistake of associating this amateurish and barely-intelligible audiobook with David J Miklowitz’s excellent work: The Bipolar Disorder Survival Guide. Two books could scarcely be more different!

Unprofessional and Poorly Executed

Narrator talked really fast and kind of jumbled up
some words. Info was useful though.

Not the worst, but could definitely be better

This should be considered a pamphlet. There was very little information given. It basically touched the surface and is considered a book but it is not
