Through several editions it has sold over 300,000 copies. As a leading expert in the psychotherapy of bipolar disorder and especially family-focused psychotherapy, Dr. Miklowitz gives lots of helpful tips on dealing with a family member with bipolar disorder. He does a great job discussing psychosocial aspects of bipolar disorder and guiding the reader through numerous self-help strategies, at times adopting a workbook-like format and soliciting data and lists from the reader. The newest edition covers some of the drugs recently approved for bipolar depression and maintenance, but publication came too late to mention the FDA approval of esketamine nasal spray for depression. He also omits mention of cariprazine (Vraylar) approved in 2019 for bipolar depression. Miklowitz mentions electroconvulsive, transcranial magnetic stimulation, and bright light treatment briefly, but makes no reference to a controlled study combining bright light and sleep deprivation for successful treatment of bipolar depression. Other biological factors not discussed in depth by The Bipolar Survival Guide include diet and exercise. There are good chapters on bipolar disease in youth and in women, and about issues in school and in the workplace for bipolar persons. Case vignettes keep the narrative interesting. Overall The Bipolar Survival Guide deserves its status as the most popular book presenting bipolar disorder to the reading public. Its excellent qualities outshine any shortcomings.

I really and honestly liked this Book Most.

In the wide range of clinical cases exposed i could recognise events, states of minds and personality aspects which I live through the course of my 25 year long disease. In addition to that the book is extremely clear and useful in very specific and many ways. Incredibly well organised in 5 sections it provides a bulletproof skill set on how living a most possibly normal day to day life despite the disease and most importantly many pinpointed tips on how to minimize the conditions and the triggers of each cycle. I have gone through it with my psychiatrist and by the end of that we adjusted my therapy and in a few weeks found out evident benefits. I really commit to encourage everyone who his directly or indirectly connected with the disease to read this book. It’s real value added.
