Atlas of bipolar disorders

About this book

"The Atlas of Bipolar Disorders is designed to help readers understand how the various forms of bipolar disorders are both related and different. Easy-to-read summaries and informative illustrations help readers discover how the brain symptoms and treatment methods overlap and vary for patients with bipolar I and II, rapid cycling, cyclothymia and schizoaffective disorder. This book provides thorough overviews of the neurobiology and genetics/pathophysiology of bipolar disorders, and also includes chapters addressing the epidemiology, diagnosis, and economic burden of the disease. The chapter on treatment emphasizes the role and effectiveness of pharmacological therapies, but also covers psychosocial interventions, including psychotherapy, psychoeducation, social-environmental, and social support treatments." "The Atlas of Bipolar Disorders is essential reading for psychiatrists, psychologists, clinical social workers, professional mental health workers, and graduate and undergraduate students."--BOOK JACKET.
