Excerpt: “I found such
understanding by listening to children with bipolar disorder, and by
listening to adults whose symptoms emerged during childhood.
These are the ones who truly know what it feels like.”
So begins Anglada's book, Intense Minds, a compendium of
observations about bipolar disorder. My
daughter and I read these quotes to one another as we traveled one
day. Quotes would spark memories and discussions about her childhood
and teen years. Both she and I learned more about how bipolar
had affected her. Each of us made a quantum leap in our understanding
that day. A wonderful book to share between friends, or parent and
child.
I have had students with bipolar who
loved this book and always keep a copy on the shelf in my classroom.
