I have two close friends with bi-polar disorder and, like Darkness Visible with depression, this book really makes the disease comprehensible to someone who is not afflicted. I highly advocate anyone who may have someone in their life with bi-polar disorder to read this book.

A powerful collection of essays whose cumulative effect is not unlike the impact of The Noonday Demon, Andrew Solomon’s account of depression. It’s personal, frightening, funny, informative, illuminating … and brilliant. There’s a progression in the sequencing of chapters (four sections deal with characteristics, diagnosis, family, and care), but it’s easily, and usefully, dipped into at random (although if, like me, you don’t know much about the disease, the introductions by Deborah LaChance and Juliann Garey provide a solid primer).

Sometimes chilling, sometimes comforting, and often heartbreaking. The title tells it. First hand accounts of dealing with this terrible disease, mixed with essays from medical researchers and providers, and an invaluable guide for where to go for more help. For anyone suffering from this disorder, or for their loved ones. Remarkably, considering the subject matter, it is also sometimes, quite funny.
