Instead of being the life of the party, someone with Bipolar II might be too nervous to go to the party at all. And, unlike the Bipolar I sufferer who may attempt suicide in a depressive cycle, the Bipolar II might be incapacitated by guilt over an imaginary crime. In Less than Crazy , health writer and Bipolar II sufferer Karla Dougherty shares her story, presenting the first patient-expert's guide to recognizing and living well with this condition. Covering both adults and children, this accessible, all-in-one resource includes information on diagnosis, conditions that may mimic Bipolar II, and treatments. Review: Excellent Resource for those living with bipolar 2 - This book is an excellent resource for those living with bipolar 2 or for their families. It is informative and hits on emotional issues that often can not be understood or identified by those not living with bipolar 2. It is encouraging to know that someone has gone through the same struggles and has learned to proactively manage their symptoms and care. Sometimes it feels like your reading your own story. Excellent book, exceptionally written!! Review: Informative and practical - Helpful and informative - I was able to identify with many of the characteristic of bipolar 2 disorder that I've never found in other books. I, too, experienced many of the same thoughts and feelings the author experienced throughout her life from childhood. Things like walking into a room with a lot of people I didn't know, and believing that they didn't like me. Although this may be difficult to understand, this wasn't a true paranoia; rather, it stemmed from a deep-seated sense of inferiority as well as depression, yet the bipolar disorder added an intensity to those feelings that resulted in my belief that just by looking at me, people did not like me. Therein lay the difference, and what others couldn't relate to. As I relayed this to my therapist while reading this book, asking if this similarity between the author and myself was coincidence or actually consistent with bipolar disorder, she informed me that it was very consistent and not unusual at all. The author provided many other examples of typical thoughts and feelings associated with having bipolar 2 disorder, and emphasized the fact that many, if not most, individuals with bipolar 2 disorder are undiagnosed, or are diagnosed late in life because of its often elusive (cyclical) nature, and tendency to mimic other disorders, and/or manifestation as primarily monopolar depression. In short, helpful and informative for those of us dealing with bipolar 2, and for our friends and family. ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #946,426 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #172 in Coping with Bipolar Disorder #264 in Mood Disorders (Books) #46,185 in Self-Help (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 326 Reviews | ## Images ![Less than Crazy: Living Fully with Bipolar II - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71688NGzzaL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Resource for those living with bipolar 2 *by R***R on July 2, 2013* This book is an excellent resource for those living with bipolar 2 or for their families.
