Advance Praise forThe Bipolar Child: "Demitri and Janice Papolos have broken important new ground by taking on the challenging problem of bipolar (manic-depressive) disorder in children and adolescents. . . . Their new book balances scientific and clinical knowledge with moving personal accounts of experiences of real families. Their efforts are welcome." --Ross J. Baldessarini, M.D., Professor of Psychiatry and Neuroscience at Harvard Medical School, Director of the Bipolar & Psychotic Disorders Program, McLean Division of Massachusetts General Hospital "The Bipolar Childis a well-organized, practical, and authoritative book by highly knowledgeable authors. As the first book on this subject it fills a huge void and will be extremely helpful for families --E. Fuller Torrey, M.D., Executive Director,  The National Alliance for the Mentally Ill Research Institute "The Papoloses have somehow managed to climb into the minds of the parents of bipolar children and answer our tremendous number of questions. . . . Finally, parents of bipolar children have a book that will help them find hope!" --S. M. Tomie Burke, Founder, Parents of Bipolar Children and the BPPARENT Listserv "This book should make the public as well as the field of psychiatry rethink their perceptions of this devastating illness of childhood. It is a book whose time has come." --Victoria Secunda, author ofWhen Madness Comes Home "The Bipolar Childwill help families understand the out-of-control child. It includes moving, well-written, and sensitive accounts from many families who have experienced early onset of this very disabling disorder. The good news is, however, that there is treatment and it works." --Laurie Flynn, Executive Director, The National Alliance for the Mentally Ill Research Institute

Synopsis
From the authors of the classic textOvercoming Depression, here is the first book about early-onset bipolar disorder. Bipolar disorder--manic depression--was once thought to be rare in children. Now researchers are discovering that not only can bipolar disorder begin very early in life, but also that it is much more common than ever imagined. Yet the illness is often misdiagnosed or overlooked. Why? Bipolar disorder manifests itself differently in children than in adults, and in children there is an overlap of symptoms with other childhood psychiatric disorders. As a result, these kids may be given any number of psychiatric labels: "ADHD," "Depressed," "Oppositional Defiant Disorder," "Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder," or "Separation Anxiety Disorder." Too often they are treated with stimulants or antidepressants--medications that can actually worsen the bipolar condition. The Bipolar Childdemystifies this 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 the diagnosis, tell how to find good treatment and medications, and advise parents about ways to advocate effectively 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 stages of adolescence, hospitalization, the world of insurance, and the psychological impact the illness has on the child. The Bipolar Childis rich with the voices of parents, siblings, and the children themselves, opening up the long-closed world of the families struggling with this condition. An invaluable resource for parents whose children suffer from mood disorders, as well as the professionals who treat and educate them, this book will prove to have major public health significance.
