New Hope For People With Bipolar Disorder Revised 2nd Edition

Your Friendly, Authoritative Guide to the Latest in Traditional and Complementary Solutions


(HealthNewsDigest.com) - Bipolar illness has long been a source of fascination in the mental health field, and more recently, among the general public as more and more children and adolescents are being diagnosed. This fascination stems from the dramatically different states of mania and depression, and we are just now learning what causes these extreme fluctuations, what turns them off and on, and how bipolar patients can learn to cope with them.

For the 3.3 million Americans who suffer from this illness, a monthly doctor's visit and a handful of prescription drugs are little comfort, and are just not enough to sustain a healthy lifestyle. Bipolar patients and their families need practical and immediate guidance that is available at their fingertips, and the fully-updated New Hope For People With Bipolar Disorder Revised 2nd Edition: Your Friendly, Authoritative Guide to the Latest in Traditional and Complementary Solutions (Three Rivers Press, on-sale: October 23, 2007) authors Jan Fawcett, M.D., Bernard Golden, Ph.D. and Nancy Rosenfeld, provide just that with the latest research and findings on the subject.

New Hope For People With Bipolar Disorder features cutting-edge solutions, brand new research and compassionate guidance, and provides information on:

New treatments:  Find out what you need to know about new treatments, new drugs, and their potential side effects

 Atypical antipsychotic medications, antidepressants, and other medications that affect neurotransmitters

The latest research, such as new genetic studies that illuminate the links between genotype and brain chemistry, further studies of serotonin, and new information on childhood and adolescent bipolar disorder

The evolving forms of psychotherapy

Advice on making instant, effective lifestyle changes, coping with stigma, and deciding whether or not to disclose the illness to others

Unlike other books on bipolar disorder that examine the illness from a single perspective, New Hope For People With Bipolar Disorder Revised 2nd Edition, takes a multidimensional approach. The collaborative effort of the three authors—Jan Fawcett, a renowned psychiatrist and psychopharmacologist; Bernard Golden, a psychologist and associate professor of psychology; and Nancy Rosenfeld, a woman who lives with bipolar disorder—has led to a fascinating and comprehensive handbook on everything readers need to know about bipolar disorder.

This well-rounded approach, coupled with the book’s Q&A section, in which the authors answer common queries about bipolar disorder, make New Hope For People With Bipolar Disorder Revised 2nd Edition the most comprehensive and fully up-to-date guidebook on the shelf.
