Overcoming Bipolar Disorder is a self-guided workbook clinicians will want to master, reference, and recommend to their clients with bipolar disorders to assist them living well in spite of the symptoms.

This workbook will help clients learn how to recognize their mania and depression triggers, develop coping skills for managing symptoms, form partnerships that are more productive with their healthcare providers, and keep their lives balanced as they work toward their goals.

The authors' Life Goals Program has already helped many people with bipolar disorder understand how bipolar works and take charge of their lives. This workbook makes the Life Goals Program techniques available to the public for the first time, giving them the tools they need to create an action plan for symptom management designed specifically for them. They will also discover how simple changes in eating, exercise and sleeping habits can improve mood and keep symptoms at bay.
