About this listen

Marshal the skills and resources you need to live your best life!

This audiobook is about how to recover from bipolar disorder, or at least how to attempt to recover from it. Sufferers will be briefly introduced to new coping skills including emotional regulation, method acting, empathy development, and relaxation. In order to get the most out of this audiobook, you'll need to develop your own strategies based on the recommendations of this audiobook.

"In Got Bipolar?, Zotti offers unique insights based on his personal experience of coming to terms with his own bipolar condition. Applying method acting as an emotional regulation tool mirrors the work of Marsha Linehan and her concept of 'opposite action to the emotion', a tool long recognized as effective in regulating emotions. Additionally, his focus on developing hobbies and interests in one's life also reflects Linehan's emphasis on creating a life worth living through the pursuit of meaningful activities. Zotti's book will, no doubt, provide an invaluable guide for sufferers of bipolar disorder and I highly recommend it." - Paul Corcoran, clinical psychologist, Moving Forward

"If you or someone you know has been diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder (BPD), Got Bipolar? is a good place to start to try to make sense of it all. Topics include self-care, medications, coping skills and responding to someone in crisis. Zotti has lived with BPD most of his life, so he has walked the talk. The messages are of hope, loving yourself throughout this process and, if you are looking for help with a loved one, recognizing that the person is more than just this illness." - Judy Wright, mental health patient advocate

“Got Bipolar? offers a framework for the sufferer in need of skills to overcome symptoms. Zotti personally uses method acting as a coping skill to reverse mood states. Even a smile has the power to shift a low mood. He covers the basics, but it is up to the readers to increase their knowledge of emotional regulation, empathy development, relaxation techniques and other coping skills. This book is a really good primer for anyone suffering from Bipolar Disorder." - Lewis Weir, BSW

Not Infomative

The narrator did a great job and came across as really believing in what she was saying. The reason I am giving this book 2 stars is because there are a few things I agree with but a lot that I do not agree with. I do agree with having a support system, therapy and medications (these need to continue not be stopped when you have "recovered") but most of the other ideas I don't agree with. The idea that you can recover from something that is a part of the chemical and physical makeup of a person is giving off false hope to people who can feel pretty hopeless when they get their diagnosis. I highly disagree in managing the disorder and living as close to a normal life as possible. In my opinion this is not a goof book to help if you have bipolar or if you are wanting to understand or help someone with it.
