"This book offers state of the art knowledge about BD. Chapters are well-structured and clearly organized. Text is easy to read and follow. It provides excellent learning material and therefore it is definitely recommended as a literature for psychiatrists and psychiatric residents, as well as for other proffesionals that care for patients with BD." (Ana Kovak Mufic, Alcoholism and Psychiatry Research, Vol. 51 (2), 2015) "This is a full review of bipolar disorder and its many facets. ... the book can be a helpful reference for any healthcare provider, but given the specific and detailed information, it is most appropriate for psychiatrists. ... This book is truly an amazing accomplishment and it is the most complete book on bipolar disorder that I have seen." (Aaron Plattner, Doody's Book Reviews, April, 2015)
