A must read for anyone affected by another's mental disorder
I have tried to secure more copies of this book for a course I teach to loved ones of those struggling with brain disorders but have been unsuccessful. I have even written to the publisher but received no reply. This book shows how essential it is for well family members to appropriately respond to their ill relative's chemical imbalance not only for the benefit of the one with the disorder but the family member as well. I refer to this book often in dealing with chemical imbalance in family members.

A salvation for my wife and for our marriage.
Our lives were ruined by my wife's depression and I unknowingly was becoming "fused" into her illness. We argued constantly. She threatened suicide. I threatened divorce. We were fighting a war that had no end and blamed each other.
We now understand how the contagious force of depression was infecting our lives. We both take medication and have learned how to manage our communication effectively
