Another great bipolar memoir/self-help book is George's Denslow's Living Out of Darkness: A personal journey of embracing the bipolar opportunity. It's thin and highly readable, with lots of easily applied suggestions from someone whose been there first hand. Here's the website: www.LivingOutofDarkness.com

I found this book about Bipolar Disorder to be very helpful. I have found it helpful to read as many books as possible about this disorder as my daughter has Bipolar 1. Another new book just released I found inspiring and has given me great hope is a new memoir called “I just want my daughter back – coming to terms with Bipolar 1″ by BC Levinson that I found on Amazon.com . Seeing how others cope with bipolar disorder has made a big difference in our journey. It gives hope to those of us walking in these shoes. I actually found the new book through Twitter.com.. you can even chat with the author @BIPOLARSMOM2 . Very nice lady..
Hope this helps
Sue

this is a bit off the topic of the diet. i have done a bit of research and the way that bipolar is explained seems to explain to an extent what i feel and do most if not all of the time . i an not claiming to be bipolar… but i do think it could be possible. my question is…should a person who suffers bipolar disorder definitely seek treatment? im used to coping with everything internally and alone. and im comfortable with doing it that way.

I would like to treat my symptoms naturally but my caregiver doesn’t offer much help in this area. She recommends prescriptions. I read that 5HTP (amino acid) helps with depression. My caregiver says not to take it because it will/could push me to mania. Has anyone tried it? Has anyone had any success with any natural remedies?

Re: Diet for helping with Bi-polar symptoms. I am a little new at this, my son was diagnosed 9 months ago. The more I read about ‘brain foods’, the more I can see that good health, meditation, putting stress to rest all help with bi-polar symptoms. Vitamin E, B, C are particularly good as is fish, fresh fruits & vegetables. Our personal experience over-laps with PST, but living a healthy lifestyle goes a long way to helping relieve bi-polar mania. Keeping a relaxing atmosphere definitely helps as well.

I have heard there is a diet that will help with bi-polar symptoms. Do you know anything about this and where I can get information
