Recenzje

From the reviews of the third edition:

"The purpose is to inform readers about bipolar disorder and illustrate different treatment modalities of the various phases of this disease in a succinct manner. Given the significant prevalence, chronicity, high risk of inappropriate diagnosis, and the impact on the quality of life for those who suffer from bipolar disorder, this book is needed. ... This would be helpful for anyone who treats patients with bipolar disorder, particularly primary care providers because it presents the basic facts." (Aaron Plattner, Doody's Book Reviews, April, 2014)
