If there's a mental illness which has too often been stigmatised and misunderstood by the very people who should be most understanding about it, well, that's bipolar. Dealing with bipolar isn't easy at all. It's like going on a rollercoaster, getting ready to experience in one's own skin both highs and lows along the way. The real problem may be that one simply focuses on the wrong element. Most people try to find the right treatment for bipolar rage, mania or any event of this kind, not acknowledging at all the role carers may be playing and what these events may have been caused by. That's wrong, as understanding the root of a problem may help immensely in finding a real solution. This book is meant for carers, friends and family members, whose contribution in situations of this kind cannot be overstated. It's true that there's no manual to be followed, but this work may help you learn something about how to approach and take care of a person who is doing it tough.
