Editorial Review from Product Description:

DIVOnce considered an adult illness, bipolar disorder (manic depression) is one of the fastest growing categories in child psychiatry since ADHD, touching the lives of an estimated one million children. But often it goes misdiagnosed, and children can be prescribed medication that only worsens their condition. Parents are desperate for someone to guide the way through this difficult time. With her twenty-five years of clinical experience, child psychiatrist Rosalie Greenberg offers families a lifeline--a book filled with sage, practical, and reassuring advice for anyone struggling to help a child locate that elusive inner calm.With a revolutionary approach that sees the brilliance, the sweetness, the creativity in bipolar kids, Dr. Greenberg gathers their stories and their parents? stories to open a window onto these children who have for so long gone misunderstood. She walks readers through the different scenarios that may occur with bipolar kids, from daring manic phases to sudden periods of overwhelming sadness. She shows parents how best to navigate the peaks and valleys of bipolar disorder and provides them with the assurance that they need not tackle this illness alone. Most important, she encourages adults to Ilisten/I to what children say through the maze of their mania and depression, for this can make all the difference in diagnosing and successfully managing bipolar disorder. IBipolar Kids/I offers parents welcome understanding, guidance, and most of all hope that their child, with the proper interventions, can lead a productive and successful life./DIV

A True Resource!, 2008-08-15
I find myself going back to this book again and again. It's almost amazing to me that so many kids could be so alike in their fears and actions, but this book offers practical ways of getting out of the storm. It also is just so refreshing to have the voice of calm of the book, and be reminded life isn't always like this. It's a very thorough book covering all concerns for parents of bipolar kids. There are no easy answers, but it sure is nice to have this book to reference.

Good book for college course, 2008-04-11
This is a great book for introducing students not only to bipolar disorder, but also to a compassionate, caring, and up-to-date clinical approach for treating it. Dr. Greenberg writes with enormous warmth about her patients, and her empathy is inspiring for all educational and mental health professionals.This would be a perfect book for a general psychology course as well as teacher education courses. Everyone who works with children should read this book.

Real Life, Real Answers, 2008-02-22
This book is an excellent resource for any parent of a child with bipolar disorder, as there are so few resources out there. It is comprehensive, easy to understand, up-to-date, and very informative, approaching topics relevant to parents struggles with issues applying to their bipolar child. An especially important chapter is the one on medications, and the fact that he goes over each one specifically. Another major problem that parents face is "Is it bipolar disorder or something else?" Too many children have been misdiagnosed as bipolar disorder (manic) when it is just ADHD, and this book addresses that, as well as other disorders of misdiagnosis. The main thing is that this book shows parents how to traverse the peaks and valleys of their child's wild bipolar mood swings, with practical advice and illustrative examples that any parent can follow. I especially like the part at the end called "Real Life, Real Answers." I highly recommend this book as a resource.
