This an excellent account which lets the reader know just how disabling bipolar disorder is, but which doesn't wallow in self-pity. Instead the tone is one of gentle humor, self-deprecating, with "conversations" the author imagines might occur as a result of his illness. He talks about the sadly still very real stigma attached to the disease, and the ins and outs of various drugs. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to know about bipolar disorder. Certainly it's much better than that show more horribly overrated An Unquiet Mind: A Memoir of Moods and Madness. show less
