Dear Reader,
No one who develops a mental disorder is at fault; the cause lies somewhere in the interaction of genes and environment. Bipolar and other disorders have a biological basis, just as any disease that affects other organs in the body.
Emma Parker Bowles suffered from bipolar disorder for years. After she found help and effective treatment, she wrote in an essay, I know I am not the only one. So if reading this helps just one person not to feel so alone, not to feel so lost in the fog, then it was worth it. Just don't suffer in silence. Don't be ashamed. Talk about it. Explore treatment options and find something that will work for you. I leave you with this African proverb: However long the night, the dawn will break.
Picking up a book such as this one is a good first step to learning about the nature of this disease and what you can do about it. If you arm yourself with as much knowledge as you can gather from this and other books, medical authorities, support groups, and people who have bipolar disorder, you will shorten the night.

For Marie E. Culver and Florence Moratelli
This is the second Everything book I have done for Adams Media, and Katrina Schroeder edited both of them. She is a pleasure to work with. This book is a revision of the first edition written by Jon P. Block, PhD. I had permission to keep as much of his material in the book as I wanted. In many cases, I have done so where new developments have not made it necessary to change his material. I acknowledge his influence and contributions, which can be found in this revision. As always, I am grateful to Marie E. Culver, who should know what Everything means to an author.
Psychiatry is one of medicine's most misunderstood disciplines. Despite frequent portrayals in the popular media, bipolar affective disorder (manic depression) remains one of psychiatry's most mis-understood diagnoses. Many who suffer from this illness believe they don't have it, and there are some who are certain they have it, but don't. Unfortunately, psychiatrists tend to see more of the former, and persuading people, especially young people, that they have a serious mental illness is extremely difficult. While depressed people often know they have a problem, and are often willing to seek treatment, most manic individuals do not see a problem or a need for help. They often put themselves and their loved ones through a number of horrific episodes before they get it. What makes this even more tragic is that good, effective treatments are available, and most people with this illness can live a normal life if they find, and stick with, appropriate treatment.
For those people who wonder if they have bipolar disorder, there is little awareness of the variety of alternative diagnoses that may be more accurate. The right diagnosis is the first step in getting the right treatment.
Psychoeducation is the education offered to people who live with psychological disturbances. Its goal is to help the patient understand and be better able to deal with the illness. It also helps to reinforce the patient's own strengths, resources, and coping skills, so they can become active participants in their health and well-being.
In addition, friends and family members are frequently confused about what is happening to their loved ones. Often, the normal, supportive responses are not helpful, and families are afraid to say or do the wrong thing and potentially make things worse. They wonder what went wrong, what they can do to help, and what the future holds for the patient.
