This book is definitely suited for those who have just gotten a diagnosis for Bipolar or who are totally unsure how to document their moods, foods, exercise, meds, etc. It is great for anyone who is really just starting out on their Bipolar journey or those who have yet to get a handle on their diagnosis. It has charts to copy and use and ways to document by asking you questions to answer so you can understand triggers, etc. Ruth C. White has another book on Bipolar I love pertaining to preventing relapse which really helped me and so I thought I would check this book out. Unfortunately it wasn't for me. That said, I highly suggest checking out her books as she herself has Bipolar and a very good understanding of this mental illness.
