Demitri Papolos, M.D. and Janice Papolos The Bipolar Child: The Definitive and Reassuring Guide to Childhood's Most Misunderstood Disorder

The Bipolar Child demystifies this confusing disorder of childhood. Drawing upon recent advances in the fields of neuroscience and genetics, the Papoloses convey what is known and not known about the illness. They comprehensively detail diagnosis, how to find good treatment, medications, and advise parents how to effectively advocate for their children at school. Included in these pages is the first Individual Education Plan--IEP--ever published for a bipolar child. The book also offers critical information about the stage of adolescence, hospitalization, the world of insurance, and the psychological impact the illness has on the child.
