 Good basic information October 30, 2008
This book takes the unique perspective of kids who are dealing with mental illness. It is comforting to read the stories of these children.
However, as a parent newly coping with Bipolar disorder in my home, it was frustrating to have just the cause and affect of the disorder discussed. There is nothing out there for parents. I was hoping for guidance on how to cope myself, how to handle discipline, how to help my other children through the rages and how to keep my relationships with my bipolar child intact. This book provided none of these things.
 Intense Minds - Extraordinary October 11, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This book examines the minds of young people with Bipolar Disorder. The author's presentation is so much more than a description of symptoms often used to make a diagnosis. Anglada delves into the minds, thoughts, and feelings of these kids through interviews where the children provide honest, unfiltered accounts of the way they experience the world.
The individual descriptions of such intense childhood experiences, each originating from a child's mind, left me with a deeper and more profound understanding of what these children go through in their day to day lives.
This is book is a gift to anyone seeking to understand Bipolar Disorder from the perspective of the sufferer. Five Stars.
Excellent resource for School Psychologists to recommend October 9, 2008

Through their own words about growing up with Bipolar Disorder, children, teens, and adults offer an opportunity for others to empathize and act to support children with whom they may work in the classroom, at home, and in a medical or therapeutic setting. This is a quick read which includes descriptions of the illness and suggestions for helping young people successfully cope with their disorder.
 Insight to Bipolar emotions and feelings March 8, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Intense Minds was worth the money I paid for it the moment I received it. After opening the package I randomly started reading. I read two pages which left me with a stunning insight to the behavior of a specific incident which I had experienced with a bipolar individual. It was like a light bulb went on in my head. I realized why the behavior happened and can only guess how much pain that individual was feeling to react to the situation in that way. It finally made sense to me. Bipolar disorder seems to be about emotions, feelings and the processing of information. This book gives great insight into the emotions and feelings of young bipolar individuals.

If you want to experience mental illness from within the mind of the mentally ill, this book is it. These young writers vividly describe their lives from their personal perspectives, sharing details and nuances we rarely hear. Couple this book with Kate McLaughlin's "Mommy I'm Still in Here" and you get a full-spectrum family view of learning to live with bipolar disorder.
