Not good -- validates stereotypes!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Tortured Mind (Psy) (Encyclopedia of Psychological Disorders) (Library Binding)
This book is very limited in scope and focuses on the negative aspects of manic depression. As the wife of a manic depressive, I found it to be a book to steer clear of as the author seems to think that all manic depressives are doomed to be inmates and have no function in society.

1.0 out of 5 stars
Not for children diagnosed with bipolar disorder,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Tortured Mind (Psy) (Encyclopedia of Psychological Disorders) (Library Binding)
I agree with the other reviewer that this is not a helpful book. I was hoping to find an informative book for children that have been diagnosed with bipolar disorder. This book is definitely not it! I believe it would scare youngsters into thinking that they might end up in an asylum, receiving electro-shock therapy. The book states that not everyone ends up like that, but it seems to dwell on the topic. It also has some disturbing information about the history of mental illness and they way patients were treated long ago.
