5.0 out of 5 stars
grateful,
This review is from: Clinical Guide to Depression in Children and Adolescents (Hardcover)
Since diagnosed with bipolar disorder, I've read many books concerning this disease. This book was extremely helpful in getting me to understand my condition and it showed me a few preventive techniques that have worked. I am not cured, but Ido believe that this book has helped me in a way that no other book has, and for that I am grateful.
