Description
Darian Leader's Strictly Bipolar explores the psychological disorder that has become increasingly prevalent in our society. With diagnoses rising by 4000% and child prescriptions increasing by 400%, we are living in what Leader terms 'Bipolar times'. This treatise challenges the rise of bipolar as a catch-all solution to complex problems, arguing instead for a reevaluation of mania and depression. Leader delves into the experiences of individuals with bipolar disorder, seeking to understand why these conditions can be both terrifying and exhilarating. He examines the relationship between love, guilt, rage, spending sprees, and intense feelings of connection, asking how these mechanisms work in our minds and bodies. By looking at these questions in a new way, we may gain a deeper understanding of manic-depression and develop more effective ways to help those affected. This book offers a thought-provoking perspective on contemporary views of the self and bipolarity, making it essential reading for anyone interested in this topic.
