Book Review
Someone close to me once described their battle with Bipolar Disorder as having thoughts flying through their mind. They could not reach a thought quickly enough, for another was flying right behind it. After talking with him, I came to understand that living with Bipolar Disorder was like living with mental chaos. I also discovered that patients do not like to take their medicine. They have a feeling of invincibility when they are at a high point. They like that feeling and do not want to lose it. When they are at a low, they feel almost worthless, tired, and depressed. Medication places them on an even playing field. They do not have the highs or the lows.
A Firm Place To Stand by Marja Begen is written for a Christian audience. It amazes me how many Christians cannot accept Bipolar Disorder as a disease. Many find shame in the diagnosis; they attempt to hide the disorder as though pretending will make it go away. This book is long overdue. Bergen shares she story in hopes of assisting other. She has done a great service to both patients and those that live with them.
