Mental health columnist, Chelsea Lowe, and Bruce Cohen (psychiatry, Harvard Univ.), team up to address the needs and concerns of those who are involved with someone who has bipolar disorder. Living with Someone Who’s Living with Bipolar Disorder is an essential resource for anyone who has a close relationship with a person who is bipolar. The authors use non-technical language to describe all aspects of diagnosis, treatment options, and day-to-day issues. Numerous vignettes of couples, told from the non-bipolar partner's point of view, personalize the narrative and also make clear how varied the symptoms can be. Specific advice is offered and excellent resources are provided for all aspects of diagnosis, treatment, communication and coping. Chelsea Lowe writes about health, beauty, interpersonal communication and other topics, and is equally comfortable writing fiction, lyrics and intricate verse. Her essays and features have been heard on National Public Radio and seen in TV Guide, Newsweek, the New York Daily News, Los Angeles Times, Boston Globe Magazine and many other places.
