Product Description
Bipolar Disorder affects many more people than just the 2.5 million Americans who suffer from the disease. Like depression and other serious illnesses, bipolar disorder also affects spouses, partners, family members, friends and coworkers. And, according to the Child and Adolescent Bipolar Foundation, 15% of children diagnosed with ADHD may actually be suffering from early-onset of Bipolar Disorder. Bipolar Disorder For Dummies reveals some of the causes and consequences of bipolar disorder, let you in on some crisis survival strategies, and describe ways that friends and family members can support loved ones who have the disease. The book includes an overview of the causes and symptoms of bipolar disorder, explains step-by-step how to obtain an accurate diagnosis, discusses the medications available, and tells what you can and can't do to help someone with the disease. You'll learn: - The different categories and potential causes of bipolar disorder
- How to select the right mental health specialist
- Managing employment-related issues brought on because of the disorder
- How bipolar disorder affects children
- Advocating for yourself or a loved one
- Planning ahead for manic and depressive episodes
- Selecting the best medications for you—including alternative "natural" treatments

I discarded this book when I first saw it. Then when I read a few pages from it on Amazon it appeared to be a well written book. After purchasing it I can ensure you that you will have use for this book. I have Bipolar Type 1 Disorder, and this book has been a significant help.

Having been a veteran of bipolar disorder since 1985, I've got some experience under my belt with the ups and downs of this disorder. My impression of this book was that it was an excellent resource book to have in my library. The disorder criteria are well explained, the medication strategies and medication choices are very good. In addition of how to treat it medically, explanations of the types of therapy that are available (supportive, insight-oriented and cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior therapies). It's a good fit on the bookshelf in my opinion.

This book should be required reading for all types of bipolar patients. It goes over all the kinds of bipolar disorder. I goes into great depth about the meds used to treat this disorder, which is extremely helpful. It also has a lot of information on cognitive behavioral techniques to help manage bipolar disorder.
