From a leading child psychiatrist, here is a comprehensive parents'paperback guide to understanding - and managing - paediatric bipolar disorder. Once considered an adult illness, bipolar disorder (manic depression) is the fastest growing category in child psychiatry since ADHD.

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 these kids, Dr Greenberg gathers their stories, as well as their parents' stories, to open a window onto these children who have for so long gone misunderstood.
