Recensioner i media

"The need to distinguish between recurrent unipolar depression and bipolar depression is critical and can be life-saving. Grieco and Edwards have written an easy-to-read book that will help primary care doctors, patients, and families understand these important differences. They humanize the condition and their approach helps to reduce the stigma of bipolar disorder. I continue to recommend the book to my patients and their families." - Neil S. Kaye, MD, DFAPA, Assistant Professor, Psychiatry and Human Behavior, Family Practice, Thomas Jefferson University College of Medicine "Poignant stories of pain and suffering-and ultimately tales of hope after accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment. I urge patients, families, and physicians to read and reflect on these stories and join together to address this sometimes enigmatic but imminently treatable disorder." - Jeff Susman, MD, Chair, Family Medicine, University of Cincinnati
