Once upon a time books used to be people’s best companions of free time, and hence they were much away from stress and many other mental disturbances. Now digital media has replaced books to a great extent and excess of information is creating lack of interest, and people’s engagement in other activities. Such sped up life is one of the major reason for stress.

I’ve heard about “Living With Depression and Bipolar Disorder”, by John McManamy. I couldn’t have it, but a review I found on Amazon sounds interesting. According to Amazon Editor, the book is a comprehensive case studies of different experts with their patients, and it helps one in following:

• Diagnosing the problem
• Associated illnesses and symptoms
• Treatments, lifestyle, and coping
• The effects of depression and bipolar disorder on relationships

The review further says that, John McManamy in this book describes his belief that depression is a wide spectrum that reaches from occasional bouts of depression to full-fledged bipolar disorder. They also claim that the book is the first one to help patients recognize this diversity of the disorder.

So it sounds that, Living Well with Depression and Bipolar Disorder can really help sufferers begin to reclaim their lives. If it seems to you too, give it a try!
