Bipolar Breakthrough

The Essential Guide to Going Beyond Moodswings to Harness Your Highs, Escape the Cycles of Recurrent Depression, and Thrive

By: Ronald R. Fieve

Narrated by: Steven Cooper

More than 30 years ago, Dr. Ronald R. Fieve gained national recognition for his pioneering treatment of what was then known as "manic-depression". Since then, he has focused on patients with mild bipolarity, also known as Bipolar II. With the right treatment, these patients can turn their illness into an asset.

In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Fieve presents a highly successful program that allows Bipolar II patients to harness the creativity and energy of their hypomanic "highs" while minimizing the potentially devastating "lows" of depression.

Now with a new foreword explaining the most up-to-date research on the bipolar spectrum, Bipolar Breakthrough includes:

• Six stay-well strategies for anyone suffering from Bipolar II
• The latest information on cutting-edge medications with fewer side effects
• A special section on the complications of a bipolar diagnosis for pregnant women, children, and the elderly

With results supported by thousands of patient histories, Dr. Fieve’s Bipolar Breakthrough is a landmark work that will help the millions of Bipolar II sufferers live better lives.

The voice of the narrator will send you into psychosis

I’m surprised it’s a human narrator! I had to keep scanning and reading to see if the narration was computer generated. The worst monotone upspeech I’ve ever heard. Listen to the preview before buying.

Good, but dry.

Good information, but nothing I would classify as a "break through." As someone with bi-polar II, I've known most of the information that was presented. The anecdotal stories were nice, but lacked depth. I probably enjoyed it because it is a topic I am interested/invested in. If you're looking for a good introductory read about bipolar disorder (more specifically, bipolar II), then this is a good place to start.

A very useful publication

This book is week written and documented. The author is well know doctor of psychiatry. A lot of examples and good four thought.
