Okay, so I'm at the book store yesterday looking around stare and trying to find some decent books on youth with bipolar disorder since my daughter is newly diagnosed. I have The Bipolar Child and I just picked up If Your Child is Bipolar. Does anyone have any other good suggestions for books? question
I have adult ADD so that I tend to read a chapter at a time or thumb through to certain sections, rarely reading a non-fiction book straight through - LOL. I wish they made an Idiot's Guide to Bipolar.... neutral

I couldn't find any when I looked. You're one-up on me there.
If you have any interest in Nirvana, Kurt Cobain's Journals was written by someone who was bipolar, and I saw a lot of bipolarness in his writing. I think that's just pulling out the obsession there, though.
Idiot's guide to Bipolar? PMS on steroids 24/7.
That's my description.

Now, I know that's not what you are looking for, but I am sure it would be fun to read and nice to see how other people cope with being bipolar. The author is bipolar, but I don't remember her name. I think the book is titled "Creative Fire", but I'm not certain.

I'd be interested in reading fiction novels on bipolar disorder.
And I REALLY want to read Kurt Cobain's journals. Even though I'm kinda conflicted on that. But that's another post.
