"What sets this book apart from the growing number of titles on the topic is the winning combination of Castle's life-long experience with the disorder and her professional yet accessible writing. Valuable for both mental health professionals and those dealing with the disease, this information-rich title is highly recommended for all libraries."
--Dale Farris, Library Journal, April 1, 2003
"Infinitely readable: a touching and sometimes humorous account of Castle’s own experiences, spliced with scientific and medical data and practical advice for those living with the disease."
--Beverly Scarborough, Communications Director, Austin Travis County Mental Health and Mental Retardation Center
"I found Bipolar Disorder Demystified extremely informative, thoroughly researched, and most importantly, human. I was still reeling from my diagnosis of bipolar I when I read it. Though my intuition knew the truth of my illness for some time, it is very difficult for me to come to terms with abnormalities of my brain. As I read this book, I felt as though I was sitting with the author over coffee and that she was sharing the gifts of her experience, the treasure of her coping skills. I felt much less alone, less completely crazy.
I am thankful for Lana's candor, for her willingness to expose her vulnerability to shine a light for others to find in the darkness. Her book is truly a labor of love."
--A reader in Corvallis, Oregon
