Research suggests that more than 40 million people worldwide are living with bipolar disorder. Discover the truth about this misunderstood and often stigmatized condition.

This book offers a broad introduction to bipolar disorder. The book's questions cover what bipolar disorder is and the forms it can take, its common characteristics, the biological and environmental factors that may increase risk for developing the condition, how bipolar disorder is diagnosed and managed, and how friends and family can best support those living with bipolar disorder.

Augmenting the main text, a collection of 5 case studies illustrate key concepts and issues through relatable stories and insightful recommendations. The Common Misconceptions section at the beginning of the volume dispels 5 long-standing and harmful myths about bipolar disorder, directing readers to additional information in the text. The glossary defines terms that may be unfamiliar to readers, while the directory of resources curates a list of the most useful books, websites, and other materials. Finally, whether they're looking for more information about this subject or any other health-related topic, readers can turn to the Guide to Health Literacy section for practical tools and strategies for finding, evaluating, and using credible sources of health information both on and off the Internet.
