Rejoice! Ellen Forney has given us a guide to navigating life with a mood disorder. Using her experience living with bipolar disorder, Forney shares her tips ‘n’ tricks for handling all aspects of mental health: sleep, human contact, meds, therapy, etc. At the end of each chapter, there are cute merit badges to keep you going! While she mostly refers to bipolar, this advice could be applied to many mental illnesses — and is good for all humans in general. It’s all done in her classic, light-hearted style and is just so lovely and wise. This is a wonderful book to keep on your shelf for when things get hard.
