Description
It is estimated that as many as 50% of patients diagnosed with major unipolar depression (UP, MDD), will subsequently incur a manic episode and will have had bipolar depression rather than MDD. The average bipolar individual suffers with episodic symptoms of mania for ten years before receiving an accurate diagnosis. As many as 16 million individuals in the United States will have a bipolar episode in their lives, diagnosed or not. With these growing number of patients with bipolar disorder, it is imperative that patients are diagnosed and treated accurately and efficiently. Bipolar aims to improve earlier recognition, acceptance and compliance of bipolar. This book combines two different approaches to understanding bipolar disorder, comprehensive research and case studies. Dr. Raymond Lake presents basic, selected bipolar data including history, diagnostic criteria, and definitions of terms, classifications, management and treatment strategies to help the reader fully comprehend the disorder. Second, case studies are presented to provide the reader with real-life examples to help increase recognition of various bipolar presentations beyond the stark black and white diagnostic criteria pf the DSM.
