Author: Nina MensingThe Mad Hatter once asked Alice
Having lived with someone suffering from Bipolar Mood Disorder for over twenty years, Nina is better qualified than most to speak about the affect this condition has on relationships. From caring for her partner whilst he was suicidal with depression to visiting him in a state mental asylum after he was committed during a manic episode, she’s seen and experienced it all. This story is a journal account of her tumultuous relationship during worldwide travel and finally marriage. Juggling motherhood, a career in journalism and photography, and a partner who refused treatment, she has been left with some battle scars. However, she has persevered and through her book, support groups, and community workshops on Bipolar Awareness her knowledge is now helping fellow supporters conquer and befriend this monster she calls Bipolar. The foreword is written by specialist psychiatrist Dr Isabel Nunes. This book is an important contribution to those who find themselves in marriages with a bipolar sufferer. – Dr Elizabeth Peter (specialist psychiatrist) * * * It is very well written and compellingly told. I really am impressed with the balance Nina brings to the story – compassion in the midst of nightmarish times, the shadow under the lightness of the good times, the edge to their adventure and the travels ... – Jaqui L’Ange, Psychologies magazine * * * An extremely honest book which will resonate with the experience of many others. I think her book is invaluable to all those living in a partnership with someone with Bipolar illness. – Dr Isabel Nunes (specialist psychiatrist)
