Publisher's Synopsis
Becka's Best Bipolar Mood Journal
Did you know that 5.7 million adult Americans are affected by Bipolar Disorder according to the National Institute of Mental Health? 69% are often misdiagnosed for 10 years or longer. And less than 2/3 of US adults can correctly define Bipolar and what it looks like.
But maybe you have been recently diagnosed with this scary, practically unidentifiable, lifelong disease that people seem to know very little about. You know it's genetic, so someone in your immediate or extended family has probably had this same problem right? But as you were sitting there, listening to your doctor deliver the news you probably realized 2 things.
1) Suddenly life makes a little more sense, the unforgettable highs and unexplainable lows have some sort of reason behind them other than "that was just how you were feeling that day".
2) Sure, you've heard the term thrown around and you know there are pills involved, but that's it. You know nothing.
You would be incredibly lucky if you had someone with Bipolar help you begin to identify it in your own life. Unfortunately, not all of us have that, and often times a general Doctor won't know a lot about it. It can be scary coming home with a diagnosis and a bottle of pills. But, there is hope at the end of the tunnel. With the help of this journal, you can begin to take control of your life again and learn to live peacefully and happily with your quirky personality.
