Publisher's summary

When bipolar disorder afflicts the person you love, you suffer too. How have other couples learned to manage the relationship strains caused by this illness? What can you do to provide your partner with truly helpful nurturance and support? No one cares more deeply about these questions than Dr. Cynthia Last, a highly regarded therapist/researcher who also has bipolar disorder.

Sharing stories and solutions from her own experience and the couples she has treated, Dr. Last offers heartfelt, practical guidance for getting through the out-of-control highs and the devastating lows - together. Learn how you can help your spouse come to terms with a bipolar diagnosis, get the most out of treatment, and reduce or prevent future mood episodes, while also taking care of yourself.

Awakening, informative

This was a profound read for me as I have lived and loved someone with this disorder. I learned so much from this book that I started listening to it all over again after I finished it the first time, possibly because i finally didn’t feel alone.

Wow

This was a very informative read. There was a lot of compassion towards both partners view points in the different challenges they may face. I found it to be very helpful and reassuring to hear how other couples handle everything. Definitely worth more than one read through.
