His book Moodswing was a runaway hit, published in seven countries. Since then, Dr. Fieve has focused on patients with mild bipolaritywhat is now known as Bipolar II. He has discovered that Bipolar II patients arealmost across the boarddriven, successful, high-achieving individuals who, with the right treatment, can actually turn their illness into an asset. In this first book to concentrate exclusively on milder bipolarity, Dr. Fieve explains how newer drugs with fewer side effects are revolutionizing the treatment of Bipolar II. Some people with mild bipolarity may not require drugs at alljust a specific lifestyle program, which Dr. Fieve spells out in this book. In the past, many patients with the illness have resisted treatment because they did not want to give up the euphoria of the highs. But left untreated, the conditions lows can be devastatingsometimes resulting in suicide. Here, Dr. Fieve reveals his remarkably successful treatment program (with results supported by thousands of patient histories) that allows patients to keep the highs while minimizing the lows. And he explains how his program can help turn the illness into a positive and patients into what he calls bipolar beneficials. 1129928 3 10 2006 Bipolar II: Enhance Your Highs, Boost Your Creativity, and Escape the Cycles of Recurrent Depression--The Essential Guide to Recognize and Treat the Mood Swings of This Increasingly Common Disorder total:18|5:3|4:3|3:6|2:5|1:1| 18 56 25 4 4 0 false false Tue Apr 15 08:01:02 -0700 2008 Tue Apr 15 08:01:11 -0700 2008 more...]]> 2 0 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sun Mar 09 18:38:02 -0700 2008 Mon Jul 14 09:14:50 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Wed Jun 17 10:03:07 -0700 2009 Thu Jun 11 19:39:20 -0700 2009 Wed Jun 17 10:03:07 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Sun Feb 10 13:49:19 -0800 2008 Fri Apr 25 15:17:07 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Fri Nov 06 19:10:24 -0800 2009 Fri Nov 06 19:10:24 -0800 2009 2 0 false false Tue Oct 27 16:21:14 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 27 16:21:14 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Oct 20 09:48:40 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 20 09:48:40 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sat Oct 10 14:51:52 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 10 14:51:52 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Aug 11 23:09:47 -0700 2009 Tue Aug 11 23:09:47 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Jul 13 13:15:02 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 13 13:15:02 -0700 2009 2 0 false false Fri Jul 17 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Jul 12 15:42:07 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 17 21:43:43 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Jul 07 11:58:23 -0700 2009 Tue Jul 07 11:58:23 -0700 2009 2 0 false false Mon Feb 23 09:10:48 -0800 2009 Mon Feb 23 09:10:48 -0800 2009 1 0 false false Thu Feb 12 04:21:51 -0800 2009 Thu Feb 12 04:22:10 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Fri Jan 02 13:20:18 -0800 2009 Fri Jan 02 13:20:24 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Wed Dec 31 21:41:39 -0800 2008 Mon Apr 20 22:05:08 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Thu Dec 11 21:22:11 -0800 2008 Thu Dec 11 21:22:11 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Mon Sep 22 19:50:52 -0700 2008 Mon Sep 22 19:50:52 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Sat Oct 04 17:35:08 -0700 2008 Thu Sep 04 16:46:45 -0700 2008 Sat Oct 04 17:35:08 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Thu May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sun Aug 31 12:49:45 -0700 2008 Sun Aug 31 12:49:57 -0700 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=1142504
