Product Description
Messing with the Cruise Control, at times wrenching, at times hilarious, is the moving, unprecedented, in-depth story of one person's lifelong war with manic-depression (bipolar disorder).

Manic-depression is a severely destructive and sometimes lethal mental illness involving radical moodswings, flawed brain chemistry and toxic environmental factors that swirl in and out of it. This disorder affects millions of people worldwide--and millions more who love or must cope with them.

For these people this story of jagged mental highs, lows and mixed states--plus the psychosocial, legal and financial mess weaving through them--shows the early red flags of bipolar madness and a path to a stable, productive, loving life.

If you have or must deal with bipolar disorder in any way, please read this book.
