bipolar symptoms Books
by Wes Burgess
Amazon Price: $10.17
Customer Review: For twenty years, Dr. Wes Burgess has been writing down all the questions asked by his bipolar patients. In this book he thoughtfully answers each question, providing a safe friendly environment for the reader.
What I appreciated most about this book was all the information I had never read in other books on bipolar disorder. I had no idea that left untreated, this disorder can grow worse as you age. This is enough of a reason to convince anyone to keep taking their medication. Stopping medications seems to be an issue that the author addresses numerous times because uncontrolled manic episodes can make the disease worse. It was interesting to realize that it is high levels of adrenaline that cause manic symptoms.
Suicide is also dealt with in this book. Thirty percent of individuals with bipolar disorder will attempt to kill themselves. Some of the other symptoms include: insomnia, intrusive thoughts, rapid speech, memory problems, obsessions, hypersomnia (sleeping during the day), spending sprees, hypersexuality, anxious depression, fatigue, anxiety, social isolation, fear, panic, paranoia and auditory hallucinations.
Left untreated or treated with the wrong medications this disease gets worse over time. The author talks about medications he prescribes and gives detailed information about each one. He mentions Geodon and Ativan as well as numerous other medications that work for bipolar disorder.

~The Rebecca Review
by Tom Wootton
Amazon Price: $15.16
Customer Review: This book is suspiciously similar to Mr Wootton's earlier self proclaimed "revolutionary" self published work The Bipolar Advantage. We can perhaps anticipate that Wootton's next effort will be "The Schizophrenic Advantage." While introspection and an acceptance of suffering are both valuable traits it seems unlikely that Wootton has much insight in these areas, as can be confirmed if you scan the the online content here at Amazon.
The obvious downside of depression is the paralysis and inability to function or enjoy life that characterizes full clincal depression and the risk of suicide. These are the obvious reasons that Prozac and its ilk are such widely used medications for depression. For an eloquent personal account of depression I recommend William Styron's Darkness Visible: A Memoir of Madness. For a more thougtful analysis of the virtues of appropriate sadness you should consider The Loss of Sadness: How Psychiatry Transformed Normal Sorrow into Depressive Disorder.
The most helpful review of "Bipolar Advantage" (rated helpful by 76 readers) completely trashed it. Thanks Hieronymo!! Perhaps "The Depression Advantage" was written when Wootton was in a more introspective or depressive mood and perhaps Wootton has learned to write since his earlier effort. I suggest that if you scan the online content you will find the prose flat and the ideas trite. Curiously, other reviewers find it helpful.
