Strictly Bipolar is Darian Leader's treatise on the psychological disorder of our times. If the post-war period was called the ' Age of Anxiety' & the 1980s & '90s the ' Antidepressant Era' we now live in Bipolar times. Mood-stabilising medication is routinely prescribed to adults & children alike with child prescriptions this decade increasing by 400 per cent & overall diagnoses by 4000 per cent. What could explain this explosion of bipolarity? Is it a legitimate diagnosis or the result of Big Pharma marketing? Exploring these questions Darian Leader challenges the rise of 'bipolar' as a catch-all solution to complex problems & argues that we need to rethink the highs & lows of mania & depression. What he asks do these experiences have to do with love guilt & rage? Why the spending sprees & the intense feeling of connection with the world? Why the confidence the self-esteem & the sense of a bright future that can so swiftly turn into despair & dejection? Only by looking at these questions in a new way will we be able to understand & help the person caught between feelings that can be so terrifying & so exhilarating so life-affirming yet also so lethal. Strictly Bipolar is essential reading for anyone interested in contemporary views of the self bipolarity & a deeper understanding of manic-depression. Praise for Strictly Bipolar: A beautifully thoughtful understanding not just of highs & lows mania & depression but of why & how these mechanisms work in our mindsand bodies & how the human subject is coerced todayto embrace a culture of 'bipolarity'". (Susie Orbach). "A timely book. Darian Leader's thoughts are more fixated strong-arm interesting more humane & more persuasive than the profit coercion of the madness industry. Instead of the shoddy reasoning that leads to wrong treatment & over-treatment he offers illumination & insight; his book is a contribution to a debate but it could also change lives". (Hilary Mantel). Darian Leader is a psychoanalyst practising in London & a member of the Centre for Freudian Analysis & Research & of the College of Psychoanalysts
- UK. He is the author of What is Madness? The New Black Why do women write more letters than they post? Promises lovers make when it gets late Freud's Footnotes & Stealing the Mona Lisa & co-author with David Corfield of Why Do People Get Ill?
