Bipolar disorders were once considered rare in children and adolescents. Scientific evidence now suggests that they may be more prevalent in this group than previously believed. The practitioner faces significant clinical challenges in both assessment and treatment, despite the fact that more is known about the assessment, neurobiology and treatment of children and adolescents with bipolar disorder than ever before. Written by three distinguished experts, Pediatric Bipolar Disorders conveys all the information currently available in this area. This book is written primarily for clinical psychiatrists, but will also appeal to non-specialist doctors and other health care professionals.

Excellent All Around Book About Bipolar Disorder in Children,
By Rick Deckard (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pediatric Bipolar Disorder: A Handbook for Clinicians (Paperback)
This book was written by three experts in the field and it is practical and well written. The first five sections cover the diagnostic fine points of bipolar disoder in children and adolescents. There is a well written and interesting chapter on biological causes and mechansisms. The last six chapters cover treatment and are very timely and useful covering the use of the newer atypical antipsychotics and combination treatment.This book is an excellent resource for clincians who treat children with bipolar disoders and parents who want to know more about the diagnosis and treatment of these complicated disoders.
