Dr. Fawcett’s book is an informative and comprehensive view of bipolar disorder and how it affects those suffering from the disorder as well as those close to them. The information provided includes descriptions of the illness in addition to treatment options. Other information includes items such as talk therapy, medication and diet all presented in an easy to understand format. This is a good read for those affected by this illness. Thank you to NetGalley, the author and publisher for the opportunity to review this book.

“Calming the Bipolar Storm” is an incredibly valuable and detailed read for anyone who has bipolar disorder or wants to understand bipolar disorder. The author includes a lot of great and up-to-date information about medications and treatments. There are also chapters about what bipolar disorder is, what causes bipolar disorder, pregnancy while bipolar, suicide, secondary mania, and more. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who wants a greater understanding of bipolar disorder and how it can be treated.
