Welcome to the Jungle - Revised Edition: Facing Bipolar without Freaking out by

Description: Welcome to the Jungle - Revised Edition by Hilary Smith Previous edition published with the subtitle Everything you ever wanted to know about bipolar but were too freaked out to ask. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Bipolar disorder is one of the most commonly diagnosed psychiatric conditions among teens and twentysomethings, yet there are few books out there written specifically for this demographic. This revised edition comes with a new foreword by the author, a revised and expanded discussion on diagnosis, an updated chapter on medication, a new chapter on alternative approaches, a revised and expanded chapter on symptoms and updated resources. New research on the causes and risk factors for bipolar disorder are, also, included along with tools for observing patterns and making gentle changes to daily routines that can have a profound effect. Going bravely where no other bipolar book has gone before, WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE offers devastatingly on-target, honest - and riotously funny - insights into living with bipolar and answers some of the hardest questions facing people newly diagnosed. Author Biography The subject of mental health has fascinated Hilary Smith since being diagnosed with bipolar disorder in college. She is the author of the novels Wild Awake and A Sense of the Infinite, both of which explore the themes of mental health and illness. She lives in Portland, OR. Review This book is flatout fantastic. Funny, smart, and unflinchingly astute, Welcome to the Jungle is exactly the guide you want on your journey from chaos to stability as you learn to manage bipolar disorder. Smiths sure voice is a welcome companion over some hard road, and her wry wisdom lights the way. Indispensable. Marya Hornbacher, author of Madness: A Bipolar Life-- "Reviews" Hilary Smiths wise, hilarious, and candid book is a veritable lifesaver not only for those suffering from bipolar disorder, but for those struggling to keep their sanity while loving them. Maybe because the author suffers from the disorder herself, her book is an actual survival guide, brimming with insight, anecdote, and tough love. Recovery was never so inspiring. Allison Burnett, author of Undiscovered Gyrl-- "Reviews" Hilary Smiths Welcome to the Jungle provides readers with wise and excellent counsel about the thing called bipolar disorder. At once radical education and exuberant conversation, this combo memoir and self-help book is a must read for the millions whose ups and downs cause them to collide with psychiatry and the current supremely flawed mental health system. --Eric Maisel, Ph.D., The Future of Mental Health and Rethinking Depression-- "Reviews" Hilary Smith has come through big time with a book about bipolar disorder targeted to teens or 20-somethings experiencing mental illness for the first time. --Washington Post-- "Reviews" Among the wealth of works on bipolar, this title (wisely pulled from a Guns N Roses lyric) nicely stands out as a super reference for younger readers interested in or actually experiencing bipolar disorder and is also a valuable resource for professionals. --Library Journal-- "Reviews" Review Quote " Welcome to the Jungle does an excellent job of distilling important elements of bipolarity and bipolar treatment to those in search of trustworthy information. Hilary Smith strikes an effective balance in addressing the experience of bipolar teens and young adults who are struggling to come to terms with the reality of their illness. What theyll find in Ms. Smiths writing is sensible information from someone who talks their talk and walks with balance gained from her own personal journey." -- Russ Federman, Ph.D., ABPP , psychologist, author and blogger - "Bipolar You," Psychology Today E-Magazine Details ISBN1573246956 Author Hilary Smith Publisher Conari Press,u.s.
