Bipolar disorder is a condition that affects peoples' relationships with others as much as it affects their own mental state. When one person in a couple is experiencing the extreme highs and lows of a disorder like this one, it's impossible for their partner not to feel the strain, too.
Reassuring yet realistic, Dr. Bloch, Dr. Golden, and Nancy Rosenfeld explain what's normal, what's not, what might change, and what definitely won't. By understanding the reality of bipolar and what it means for a relationship, couples will relate to each other better today and plan for a successful future together tomorrow.

Lots of assumptions

The authors use language that, while seemingly empathetic, consistently emphasizes the strain placed on the non-bipolar partner. This approach risks alienating readers looking for more balanced advice that recognizes the humanity and struggles of both individuals in the relationship. The book could benefit from acknowledging the strengths and resilience that bipolar individuals often bring to their relationships rather than focusing disproportionately on their challenges.
Overall, while the book provides valuable tools for understanding bipolar disorder, its underlying bias detracts from its usefulness as a genuinely supportive resource. Readers seeking a more balanced perspective may feel frustrated by its portrayal of the bipolar partner as inherently tricky, which reinforces harmful stereotypes rather than fostering understanding and compassion.
