Bipolar book launch

"The DSM was never meant to be regarded as cast in stone, though I came away with that impression when I found myself unexpectedly seated at a dinner symposium next to one of its principal architects at the 2003 American Psychiatric Association’s annual meeting. In fairness, no one ever told Harley Earl, the legendary auto designer, what to do with the shape of his fins." - excerpt from the new book Living Well with Depression and Bipolar Disorder: What Your Doctor Doesn't Tell You...That You Need To Know by John McManamy (pictured here tap dancing). Much more than a patient handbook, John's been keeping one of the best sources of information on bipolar disorder online, McMan's Depression and Bipolar Web, since 1999 and the accumulated knowledge from professionals, patients and his own experience makes him an "expert patient" with unique insight. No joke, check out his book. It's a synthesis of info on bipolar spectrum disorders you won't find elsewhere.
