The Bipolar Disorder Survival Guide:
What You and Your Family Need to Know
Third Edition
by David J. Miklowitz, PhD

"This book has always been for and about people coping with bipolar disorder, in either themselves or a close relative. My primary purpose in this third edition is to bring readers up to date on a number of advances in the field—and new ways of thinking about treatment and self-management—since the second edition in 2010. Although some of the changes are major and some minor, most practitioners agree that people with bipolar disorder can expect a better outcome today than 10-20 years ago. More treatment pathways are open to you than ever before."

— David J. Miklowitz, PhD
