Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
This book is about one of the most serious problems in the field of Child Psychiatry and Children¿¿¿¿s Mental Health today: the unrecognized epidemic of bipolar disorder, otherwise known as manic depressive illnes, in children and its misdiagnosis as ADHD and other disruptive behavioral disorders. The reasons for this serious and highly prevalent mental illness going undetected and misdiagnosed as ADHD are enumerated and clarified and the related socio-political issues and ramifications highlighted. The main goal is to make psychiatrists, mental health professionals, and others dealing with troubled children and adolescents become aware of this serious problem and help them become competent in identifying this illness in children and in providing them the best treatment and help available for it today. It is the author¿¿¿¿s hope that better awareness of the occurrence of this illness in epidemic proportions, unrecognized until now, will lead not only to better care for the children affected, but also, more intensive research to understand the biological causes of this illness and thus, the development of more effective, or even curative treatment in the future.

An interesting read; however, the same thing is said over and over and over and over (get the idea?) He does make interesting points -- that I agree with about the disorder; but, this could have been said in a much more concise way. Tooooooooo much repetition. Save your $$. Don't bother.

This book is great at explaining the differences between ADHD, and Child-Onset Bipolar disorders. It explains the different types of Child-Onset bipolar also. My son exhibits the Atypical Bipolar, which comes out in more aggressive, easily frustrated behaviors vs. typical manic / depressive stages. Bipolar in children is much different, than bipolar in adults!!! This book explains it so well, and I highly recommend it!! I highlighted so much of the book, and then took it to the doctor! Give it to the grandparents to read, your spouse, (your ex ;) and anyone who has a close relationship with your child. I have read several books on bipolar disorder in children... and this one is one of the best!!

my daughter was misdiagnosed as having ADHD/Oppositional Defiance Disorder. for two years she suffered through medications that made her feel worse and as her mother, i suffered right along with her. i got this book delivered yesterday and read it from cover to cover IN TEARS because FINALLY everything made sense. my daughter is finally stable on the right combo of medications. this book is very informative and easy to read. most of the info i already knew but some i had to look up and research further. this book put my mind at ease in knowing we are finally on the right track. well worth every penny. thank you Dr. Isaac.

This is one of the Best books I have read about early onset Bipolar Disorder it describes my child exactly. I hope every parent and doctor read this book to understand not every child acting out has been abused or the parents are no good sometimes it is mental illness. I plan on buying several copies and handing them out to people, doctors and teachers that don't understand why my child is acting the way he is.Thank You sooo much for this book, it has helped me in so many ways . I hope it helps many others. PLEASE read this book if you know any child that is "out of control" it might be BP.

It is so important for parents to understand that the co-morbidity rate between ADHD and Bipolar Disorder is extremely high. Not only can one be mistaken for the other, but they have an extremely high frequency of occuring together. This book does a good job of helping parents identify what could be wrong with their children.
