- Love Has Its Ups and Downs
on Aug. 21, 2012
Bonnie Rice provides a valuable service to spouses and partners of individuals suffering from bipolar disorder. She is not only an excellent writer but also a strong woman, wife and mother. Although she's not a mental health professional, Bonnie has acquired her expertise through years of experience, research and working with both mental health professionals and support groups. I especially liked Bonnie's emphasis on boundaries and safety as a priority in relationships involving bipolar disorder. Somehow, despite the multiple sources of stress in Bonnie's life, she retains a sense of humor and willingness to reach out and help others. I highly recommend this book to anyone in a relationship with someone with bipolar disorder. If a significant other hasn't been (or refuses to be) professionally diagnosed or treated, it could still help to read this book to better understand this often baffling disorder.
