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

Fun, engaging, and cute toy for dogs!
Color: Yellow - Fish Skewer, Color: Yellow - Fish Skewer
I got the fried fish toy for my dog. So far, he really enjoys the squeaking noise and comes running every time he hears it. The toy material is pretty thick and is holding up well during playtime. The size of this toy is perfect for my small dog but it might be a bit small for larger dogs.
Overall it's a fun and super cute toy for my pets that's become a favorite!

Fun enrichment
Color: Yellow - Fish Skewer, Color: Yellow - Fish Skewer
Bought this to keep my dog busy while I’m out, and surprisingly it works. It’s soft, lightweight, and he was interested right away. Hiding treats inside turns it into a sniffing challenge that keeps him occupied longer than expected.
The squeaker does its job, and the material feels gentle, but this is not for heavy chewers. If your dog destroys toys for sport, proceed with caution.
Overall, it’s a fun enrichment toy that helps with boredom. Great for light to moderate play and dogs who don’t choose violence every day.

Really cute and great for photos
Color: Yellow - Fried Chicken Leg, Color: Yellow - Fried Chicken Leg
This drumstick plush toy is super cute and looks great in pictures. My dog liked it right away and keeps carrying it around.
It’s soft, lightweight, and the size is just right. We’ve already taken a few fun photos with it, and it would also make a nice little gift for someone with a dog.
Simple, well made, and definitely worth it.

Don't Bother Unless You Have Something The Size of a Chihuahua
Color: Yellow - Fried Chicken Leg
Title is definitely deceiving. We have 2 Pitbulls and a Bull Terrier. They simply looked at this thing and it blew into pieces. These are more for smaller dogs. I wouldn't even say medium. It was just a big disappointment. I was excited to give them this toy, until it arrived and I saw how small it was.

Tiny
Color: Yellow - Fried Chicken Leg
Was disappointed. The toy is tiny. I don’t think a puppy could use it. The design was great, except for the size.
