Bipolar disorder is one of the most common and disabling conditions
affecting humankind. It is a leading cause of disability and
mortality worldwide, affecting millions of people. The illness is
complex and dynamic, so that many individuals are misdiagnosed for
years and clinicians struggle with identifying the most appropriate
and successful treatment. Because it is complex and common, people
suffering from bipolar disorder seek help from clinicians of all
types - from psychiatrists, family doctors, gynecologists, and
internists to psychologists, social workers and other therapists.
For clinicians without significant experience with bipolar
disorder, how to manage the condition can be mystifying. Even
experienced psychiatrists will frequently find themselves uncertain
of the best approach to a given individual with bipolar illness.
This pocket-sized guide was specifically written with this diverse
group of clinicians in mind. It provides a concise, practical and
current overview of bipolar disorder, including making a correct
diagnosis, identifying important medical and psychiatric
comorbidities, and describing our current understanding of the
epidemiology, genetics and neurobiology of the condition. In
addition to these topics to provide context, the majority of the
book is focused on a programmatic approach toward managing bipolar
disorder, including discussions of specific subpopulations, such as
children or women who are pregnant. The book may also be of
interest for people with bipolar disorder and their families, to
help guide treatment seeking and provide education about this
sometimes mystifying condition. The author is an internationally
recognized and trusted expert in the study and treatment of bipolar
disorder, annually named a Best Doctor (R) and recognized by US
News and World Report (R) as a Top 1% Psychiatrist, whose own
extensive clinical experience working with people with bipolar
disorder guides this book.
