Review
I sincerely hope that many will read and profit from your book. -- Dr. Mogens Schou Risskov, Denmark. The pioneer in the use of lithium therapy for manic-depressive illness. Honorary President of the International Society of Bipolar Disorders.
Well written and thoughtful. An interesting personal account of the symptoms of depression and anxiety. Carlson has done a very nice job of covering a difficult subject. -- Dr. Carrie Borchardt, Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, School of Medicine, University of Minnesota
You have to publish your book. If more people would be familiar with how to treat young bipolar patients with small amounts of lithium, it would reduce the death rate enormously. -- Elisabeth Kubler-Ross M.D. Author of Death and Dying, Children and Death

Not Helpful,
By A Customer
This review is from: Life of a Bipolar Child (Paperback)
A mom who lost her Bipolar son to suicide wrote this book based on her personal experience. It definately does not do what the subtitle says it does--give parents and professionals everything they need to know! I found that a new book, "If Your Child is Bipolar" gives great information on what parents need to do to take care of their Bipolar child and does a much, much better job. "The Bipolar Child" should also be on the bookshelf of every parent with a child who is or might be Bipolar.
3.0 out of 5 stars
too personal,
By A Customer
This review is from: Life of a Bipolar Child (Paperback)
This book has some good info, but is a very personal perspective of one person's experience--and her child committed suicide!
3.0 out of 5 stars
Interesting, but very personal,

This review is from: Life of a Bipolar Child (Paperback)
While this book addresses many important topics related to childhood-onset Bipolar Disorder, it is also very closely tied to the author's personal experience of losing a child to the disorder. It provides one parent's perspective on medical treatment and suicide. It's can be a helpful resource, but could also be somewhat depressing for parents looking for solutions to their daily challenges.--Sheryl Gurrentz, co-author of "If Your Child is Bipolar--a parent to parent guide to living with and loving a Bipolar child"
