Title: Now I have a better understanding
Review: A loved one of mine is bipolar. Though she told me that she was bipolar and had been hospitalized I really did not understand the disorder or how it would affect our relationship. After two years of being together with many ups and downs ending in our breakup I was bewildered and became depressed. I began too late to read about bipolar disorder. I could recognize some of the symptoms that I saw in my loved one that I lost but something was missing. The altered states of reality, the cursing, the hate; those symptoms were treated fairly lightly in books written by professionals of mental disease as though the 'reality' would perhaps defame those that are afflicted. Ms. Campbell's book, though fictionalized, reads like "this is what experiencing bipolar disorder is really like." Highly recommended.
