Description:
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' and the 1980s and '90s the 'Antidepressant Era', we now live in Bipolar times. Mood-stabilising medication is routinely prescribed to adults and children alike, with child prescriptions this decade increasing by 400% and overall diagnoses by 4000%.
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, and argues that we need to rethink the highs and lows of mania and depression.
What, he asks, do these experiences have to do with love, guilt and rage? Why the spending sprees and the intense feeling of connection with the world? Why the confidence, the self-esteem and the sense of a bright future that can so swiftly turn into despair and dejection?
Only by looking at these questions in a new way will we be able to understand and help the person caught between feelings that can be so terrifying and so exhilarating, so life-affirming yet also so lethal.
Strictly Bipolar is essential reading for anyone interested in contemporary views of the self, bipolarity and a deeper understanding of manic-depression.
Praise for Strictly Bipolar-
'A beautifully thoughtful understanding not just of highs and lows,mania and depression, but of why and how these mechanisms work in our mindsand bodies and how the human subject is coerced todayto embrace a culture of 'bipolarity'' Susi

Great purchase! Highly recommend!
Color: Yellow Gold, Size: 1 cttw
Love these earrings! They have beautiful brilliance and sparkle AND I feel the setting is relatively substantial. They have a screw on back and the back is not small and flimsy like some earring backs I have seen. I purchased the 1 carat pair and love them. Highly recommend!

Beautiful and timeless!

The earrings are beautiful. I was hesitant to go with lab grown over natural but the quality of the earrings have genuinely changed my outlook on pab grown diamonds. These were made with 14kt screw on backs and have given me peace of mind. These were purchased to be worn in the 2nd ear piercings. They look stunning next to my natural halo diamond earrings.

Great quality
Color: Yellow Gold, Size: 0.5 cttw
Beautiful earrings, but I would definitely get the largest 1ct option if an adult plans to wear them. The smaller sizes would be perfect special gift for a child.
