Can I tell you about Bipolar Disorder?: A guide for friends, family and professionals
Sonia Mainstone-Cotton
GROUP MEMBER REVIEW:
Can I tell you about Bipolar Disorder? is a short family guide by Sonia Mainstone-Cotton. It is about a boy called Josh, aged 11 and his mother and father. His father is a baker and he has bipolar. The book provides Josh’s perspective about what it’s like having a parent who has bipolar.
Josh describes how his dad is sometimes extremely happy when he is having a manic episode and then his depression.
“Sometimes Dad’s illness makes me feel sad,” says Josh. “I am not scared by his illness but it makes me feel sad when I can see he is so unwell.”
The guide also gives pointers for how friends and school can help and provides a list of recommended sources for additional support.
