"As a licensed mental health therapist working with the chronically mentally ill for over 13 years, I have seen
first-hand the destruction and anguish caused by ignoring or putting off a diagnosis and/or treatment. People
end up suffering for years and often turn to drugs/alcohol to self-medicate, or even worse, some take their
own lives. That being said, I am also the parent of a 7 year old who has been recently diagnosed with Early
Onset Bipolar Disorder. Working in the field and having a detailed knowledge of the disease made the
diagnosis no less devastating. This book is an invaluable resource; the authors have provided the reader
with a wealth of important information in a format that is easy to read and understand. It is not only helpful for
recognizing symptoms, but also helps to identify possible solutions. I feel the knowledge gained by reading
this book has helped pave the way for me to learn about and accept my child's illness while simultaneously
providing hope for the future."

As a parent of a child with bipolar disorder, this book has already proven to be an empowering companion along the sometimes lonely road to stability and healing. It's a comprehensive reference guide for caretakers and even educators who need help and reassurance when navigating the labyrinth of challenges that frequently arise in a child with bipolar disorder. Even though my son was diagnosed four years ago, there were still many answers that provided helpful insight into his debilitating disorder.
