Book by Jane Mountain

From the Publisher

When faced with the challenges of bipolar disorder, Jane Mountain, M.D., chose to give up her practice, cut down on her daily activities and pursue recovery. In doing so, she became interested not only in her own recovery but in helping others who have bipolar disorder. Jane Mountain writes from the unique perspectives of a physician, a person with bipolar disorder and a family member of someone with the disorder. She writes in a personal, friendly and jargon-free manner that her readers appreciate. This book is neither a memoir nor a clinical manual. Rather, it is the distilled insight of someone working hard at recovery. Mountain shares in everyday language the insights that have helped her and others find the path of recovery.

Mountain brings hope and insight not only to the millions who have bipolar disorder, but also their families and friends. Her breakthrough perspectives on bipolar disorder are medically accurate and recovery-based.

Bipolar Disorder-Insights for Recovery, received a 1st Place in the EVVY Awards of the Colorado Independent Publisher's Association

From the Author

Bipolar Disorder: Insights for Recovery is about hope and recovery. It's a book that springs from my personal experiences. In it I share the essential understanding of bipolar disorder that I wish I had had when I was first diagnosed.

I wrote this book to provide easy to read, practical information that those with bipolar disorder, their families and friends can apply to daily life. I believe that a core understanding of bipolar disorder is essential to recovery. This core understanding does not come from a textbook, but rather from knowledge combined with experience. Thus my goal is to provide a book that speaks on a personal level to readers. Above all I want the information I share to be recovery focused and useful.

There are many fine books about bipolar disorder, but they tend to be either memoirs or technical books written for clinicians. These add to our understanding and play an important role. In contrast, my book, is for individuals, families and friends who are seeking a way to manage the challenges of bipolar disorder.

My hope for readers is that they will enter into the process of seeking recovery.
