I have been diagnosed with Bipolar Mood Disorder 2 months ago and I have been surfing the net for possible info that I could get to educate myself and my family. Well, things are gettings better everyday as I pray hard and take my medications regularly. I got so interested with this topic knowing that there are many people out there like me. I searched amazon.com and found many references but I can not pin point which of those is the best. So, I am asking those who have tried purchasing books for Bipolar Mood Disorder and please do give me your suggestions based on your reading experiences. I will greatly appreciate your answers. It will help me and some who are in this condition. Please do specify the Title and the Author of the Book/s so it would be easy for me to look for them. I am from the Philippines and it's quite hard to look for books like these because in our Country, BMD is not yet that accepted in the society. So, please help me. I believe you can.. thanks a lot. Bye.......

By far the best book on Manic Depression is entitled:
A BRILLIANT MADNESS
This book is an autobiography of the actress Patty Duke who has been diagnosed with Manic Depression. The book is well written and entertaining.
Patty Duke will write a chapter, then a lady by the name of: Gloria Lochman will write a chapterf, Ms. Lochman focuses on the medial aspect while Patty Duke's wrtitings are of a more personal nature.
There are a lot of books out there on Bi Polar.
I consider it a priveledge to reccomend this book to you.
It is by far Number One!

Books are great..but they take 12 to 16 months to publish. So purchasing books would not give you the lastest up to date information.
If you are on medication check the drugs web site to see what they say about Bipolar and how there drug treats this condition.
Then visit web sites and read about Bipolar mood disorder and Depression.
If you want you can bookmark the sites on your computer. If you don't know how email me.
You can also print of a copy of the information from each site,
collect a binder full of information to help you understand what you are dealing with.

The best book for you, for guidance and help with your mood disorder, is this: The personal journal you keep of your thoughts and fears. You don't have to write in the book every day, but when you feel something strong and wish you could tell someone, write it down. Or type it on a disk.
Don't try to write a fancy book that you can publish one day. If you did that, it wouldn't be honest. Just make this book the raw, bare truth of what you feel. It will do amazing things for your depression and your anxiety.
Try it. It will work.
