"I read the second edition. As someone who recently found out they had bipolar this was incredibly helpful. I can’t believe Health wrote this book was. It answered any possible question I could have and made me feel more confident moving forward in all aspects of my life. gave me ideas on how to work with myself, work with my family, go back to work, etc. I 1000% recommend this book again and again."
