People with bipolar disorder (BD) face loads of everyday challenges as they work to build the full lives they want. No one is better suited to provide empowering, practical problem-solving help than leading clinician-researcher and bipolar expert David J. Miklowitz. In Living Well with Bipolar Disorder, Dr. Miklowitz focuses on just that--living well. Readers get tips and tools for maintaining healthy, supportive relationships (without giving up independence), optimizing work and school performance, dealing with anxiety and irritability, troubleshooting medication issues, getting enough sleep, and managing drug and alcohol use. Short, clearly formatted chapters offer keys to effective self-care that readers can turn to whenever they need. Featuring practical tools that can be downloaded and printed, this quick-reference guide is an ideal companion to Dr. Miklowitz's bestselling Bipolar Disorder Survival Guide, which takes a deeper dive into the science of BD and its treatment.
