Bipolar Disorder: Insights for Recovery
by Jane, MD Mountain
 
This local author has faced the challenges of bipolar disorder herself and chose to give up her practice, cut down on her daily activities and pursue recovery. In doing so, she became interested not only in her own recovery but in helping others who have bipolar disorder.  For more information on Dr. Jane Mountain go to www.beyondbipolar.com.
Learning Outside The Lines
by Jonathan MooneyDavid Cole
Learning Outside the Lines is written by two such "academic failures" -- that is, two academic failures who graduated from Brown University at the top of their class. Jonathan Mooney and David Cole teach you how to take control of your education and find true success -- and they offer all the reasons why you should persevere. Witty, bold, and disarmingly honest, Learning Outside the Lines takes you on a journey toward personal empowerment and profound educational change, proving once again that rules sometimes need to be broken.
The Bipolar Disorder Survival Guide: What You and Your Family Need to Know

Matt the Moody Hermit Crab
by Caroline C. McGee (McGee & Woods, Inc. 2002) 

For Children 8-12 Years of Age

Matt the Moody Hermit Crab Guidebook for Parents and Teachers
by Caroline C.McGee

Matt The Moody Hermit Crab by Caroline C. McGee (McGee & Woods, Inc. 2002)

This is the first novel-length book for children which deals with bipolar disorder. The reader gets to see Matt become quite ill and see his relationships deteriorate with his parents and siblings and classmates. After proper diagnosis and treatment, Matt gets well and, with the help of his doctor, his parents, and a wonderful teacher, he rejoins his class in school.

This book will not only help children with bipolar disorder feel less alone and confused, but mothers will identify strongly with Matt’s mother’s confusion and anxiety, and siblings will understand their anger and upset better. We have heard that this book is also quite useful in the classroom and there is a teacher’s guide available. (Ages 8 to 12)

To order: Direct order from http://www.mcgees1st.com. Enter the name "mcgee" and click on the radio button for search by author. This will bring up "Matt" and the order can be completed from there.

Brandon and the Bipolar Bear: A Story for Children with Bipolar Disorder by Tracy Anglada.

For Children 4-11 Years of Age

Brandon and the Bipolar Bear: A Story for Children with Bipolar Disorder by Tracy Anglada.

This is the first fictional story available for children about early-onset bipolar disorder. In 32 simply illustrated pages children will follow (and relate to) Brandon's experience with rapid mood swings, irritability, his sense of always being uncomfortable, and his sadness that he can't control himself and that no one can fix him. The comforting explanation of bipolar disorder that Dr. Samuel gives him makes Brandon feel not alone, not bad, but hopeful that the medicines will make him (and his Bipolar Bear) feel better.

We were so moved by the power of this little book and we feel better that we now can highly recommend a book for children ages 4 through 11.

Available only through www.bipolar-children.bigstep.com
