Rated by buyers -
This book is not only badly written but in some cases, grossly incorrect. It is by no means comprehensive, nor does it even sufficiently cover what it purports to cover. I was very disappointed by it, and I hope those who are serious about learning about Bipolar Disorder look elsewhere. It is almost scary to know that this book is available. There are a number of much better books out there that are more accurate and useful.
Rated by buyers -
This book is so full of errors that I absolutely do not trust it. Mistakes include grammatical errors, index not matching text, and inaccurate substantive context. Nor does it add anything new. Most of the information could be more accurately obtained from more trustworthy sources. Much better books on the topic are available.
