Most people know what it is like to experience high or low spirits. For some individuals, however, emotional extremes can seriously disrupt their lives, either because they happen too frequently or because the mood swings are intense and are accompanied by other symptoms of depression or mania.

The author uses tried and tested practical techniques that will help people identify and manage their mood more effectively, and achieve a more stable emotional state.
