Sometimes this becomes a real test, requiring courage, patience, and complete dedication. The goal of this book is to help minimize the difficulties. It offers a comprehensive treatment plan that includes not only medication but also a special regimen of nutrition, sleep, physical activity, and lifestyle. Specific practical advice and exercises will allow predicting and preventing the symptoms of an impending illness, as well as improving personal relationships with a loved one.
