"Thank God for you, Mr. Wider your book is so
easy to understand. Most other books are too technical—you make it so simple."
Juan Hernandez
"Excellent. I’d recommend this book to anyone.
It’s far more than a book about depression and bipolar disorder. It is a book
about life. It offers hope and guidelines for everyday living."
Henry Comp
Depression and Manic Depression are stubborn
illnesses. They don't go away easily. To attain victory over his own battle
with depression and manic depression (now called bipolar disorder), counselor
and author Paul Wider used a multifaceted approach to healing. For many,
taking medication is helpful, but not enough. For such people and others who
can't take medication, or who prefer an alternative approach, this book and
its numerous Self-Help strategies and tools are indispensable in the recovery
process.
This book is also a must for family members, counselors and other caregivers
of those who suffer.
Those taking medication may wish to note: Research informs us that people
using additional recovery tools to attain and maintain mood stability have a
much higher rate of success (and lower rate of relapse) than those who only
take medication.
Moving depression or bipolar disorder away is like pushing a car that is out
of gas. If one person alone tries to push the car, he will probably fail. If,
however, 4 or 5 people push the car, it will move! It is similar with
depression and bipolar disorder. One strategy alone is usually not sufficient
to facilitate and maintain mood stability. However, using a multifaceted
approach, the depression or bipolar disorder can be moved away!
Family members and caregivers ask:
l How can I help?
l What can I do when my loved one is afflicted?
l How do I cope and take care of myself while in the position of caregiver?
This book answers these questions.
