Have you ever wondered what it's like to live with bipolar disorder? Ever agonized about whether your own or a loved one's mood swings are normal or not? This is the book for you Mad Like Me: Travels in Bipolar Country takes you on a wild, no-holds-barred gallop through one health professional's battles with bipolar disorder. In 2008, Hammond was struck with bipolar disorder at age 51. Just imagine: almost overnight, she flipped from being a researcher and public health consultant to a locked-ward patient. She shares everything she learned along the way about how to reclaim your own mental health and maintain stability, and does so in an accessible, readable, often humorous way.

Her fearless honesty in vividly retelling events helps to demystify this much-misunderstood mental illness, and to humanize the people it affects. The book is proof that hope and recovery are possible, and a poignant salute to her family who stood by her through the pain and triumph of their shared saga. This is an essential resourcefor patients working towards recovery, for families who need insight into what it is truly like to have bipolar disorder, and for therapists, nurses, and psychiatrists. Readers and reviewers have raved: mesmerizing, captivating, riveting, compelling, elucidating, enlightening, inspiring, remarkable, deeply personal, stunningly sincere, a must-read, beautifully written, powerfully honest, a bullseye.

If you enjoyed Kay Jamison's classic 1996 memoir, "An Unquiet Mind" or Marya Hornbacher's 2009 triumph, "Madness: A Bipolar Life," you're going to devour this latest bipolar memoir Hammond says her mission is now to fight the stigma against all forms of mental illness, in all age groups. She hopes that you'll join that undertaking once you've read her book.

This is the book you are looking for.
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
After searching through about four different vocab books, I finally found one I can truly vouch for: Robert's Extremely Nerdy Guide to Digital SAT Vocabulary. Robert is actually my daughter’s SAT tutor and recommended this book. At the time, my daughter had almost given up on the vocab portion of the SAT—there were only 7 weeks left to the test date (we’re now down to just 2 weeks). Honestly, what can you achieve in that short time? Still, I decided to buy it—what did we have to lose? Because I’d already gone through so many SAT vocab books, I knew a good one when I saw it. Just flipping through the first few pages convinced me this was the right fit, and my daughter immediately got to work. The book starts with 6 sections on word roots, then moves into 26 sections of similar-meaning words. Each chapter includes a matching activity (which my daughter finds essential for retention) and ends with SAT-style practice questions. Since using this book, she spends much more time memorizing and testing words. I only wish we had discovered it earlier so she could have had more time to digest and apply what she’s learning. Before this, she was getting about 50% of vocab questions right on a good day; now, after just over a month with this book, she’s averaging 80–90%. As a side note, I’m not a native English speaker, and I’ve also learned so many words by reviewing her answers. Almost every word I’ve come across in the past and thought, “I should look this up someday” seems to be in this book—a testament to why the SAT brought vocabulary back for the digital test. This book has served my family extremely well, and I plan to start my youngest child on it earlier. Get this book, and start early.
