Bipolar Disorder: Understanding and Help for Extreme Mood Swings
Everyone feels better some days than others, but some people struggle with exaggerated and unrestrained mood swings. These kinds of mood swings have come to be known as mania, manic-depression, or bipolar disorder. Bipolar disorder is confusing and difficult both for those who struggle with it and for those who care for them.
Edward T. Welch acknowledges how difficult bipolar disorder is for everyone involved, describes its effects, and then applies God’s Word to this serious, life-dominating struggle. When those who have bipolar disorder learn to understand the challenges of mania and depend on God instead of their own impressions, then mania will not stand in the way of their having rich relationships with God and others.

Blame It On the Brain? (Edward T. Welch)
Distinguishing Chemical Imbalances, Brain Disorders, and Disobedience
Depression – ADD – Alcoholism – Homosexuality – is it really legitimate to say that “mental illness” is the source behind these? Or some other inclination of the mind, planted at birth by forces beyond our control? Are we making creative excuses for our disobedience to God?
Attempting to view the mind by an examination of what Scripture says about it, author Ed Welch shows us that some matters are rooted in the tastes of one’s heart. Perhaps some habits can actually be broken if we learn to think differently with a renewed mind.
