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.
Robert L. Findling, M.D.
Director, Child & Adolescent Psychiatry
This book gives poignant firsthand accounts of what it is like to be the parent of a child with bipolar disorder.
