    I have not read all of those yet but thanks for the suggestions. I am reading a new book called I just want my daughter back- coming to terms with Bipolar 1 , by B C Levinson that I found on Amazon. It really is a great story about a mothers experiences with her daughters bipolar disorder. My own daughter has bipolar and it is really inspiring me to keep my chin up and stay strong for her. You guys should check it out.

    The Bipolar Child is the acclaimed bible for families and professionals that ... Demitri Papolos, M.D. and Janice Papolos wrote,with a third edition out now. I have lived with it as a constant resource.
