The type of courage it took to publish this book is incredible.  I didn't understand the purpose of this book until I read the author's bio.  While fighting the battle against the bipolar demons as well as those of the prescribed medication, Lithium simply blows my mind. To have the ability to document his thoughts and journeys during these battles shows immense talent.  I suggest that anyone buying this book, read the bio before starting to read.Prior to my retirement, I had an employee whose son was bipolar, and my wife's best friend has a bipolar son.  Neither of these two would take the Lithium regularly due to the bad side effects, and both parents are terrified of their kids.  The book has given me an insight into what this condition can do to the mind.  The section that was most revealing to me of the twists a patients mind can take was the comments about the Columbine, CO attack.Andre obviouly is a talented writer, despite his illness, and he holds an authority position at the same time.  Andre: My hat is off to you.I know you have another book out but I would like to see you turn your creativity to fiction.  If you know of anyone who is bipolar, or has relatives with the condition, you should get this book.  It will help you understand what they are going through every day.  Great job, Andre!
