Description
HELP IS HERE
Bipolar disorder has recently been identified as one of the most misunderstood and underdiagnosed conditions affecting children -- and it is dramatically on the rise. The Ups and Downs of Raising a Bipolar Child gives parents the sound advice and expert information they need to cope with this challenging diagnosis, and shows how to provide essential care and support for a bipolar child as well as for the rest of the family.
Janice Papolos
Coauthor of The Bipolar Child
A sympathetic roadmap....It not only outlines the territory, but it reminds the reader how sensitive these children are and offers helpful suggestions that can make life smoother.
