Product Description

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

About the Author

Trudy Carlson never intended to write this book. Her son Ben's death changed the direction of her life, and her writing. Schooled as a professional in behavioral disabilities, she taught university level courses in child psychology, adolescent psychology, developmental psychology, the psychology of the exceptional child, personality and mental hygiene, educational psychology, the psychology of individual differences, and seminar topics for advanced students. With these skills it was devastating when her son who suffered from bipolar illness, anxiety disorder and ADHD died by suicide.

Trudy soon turned her skills to developing a series of books that dealt with the difficulties of children and adults with bipolar illness, learning disabilities, ADHD, and anxiety disorder. She also published the highly respected Suicide Survivors Handbook.

It isn't surprising that before World War II few pediatricians or psychiatrists would not have diagnosed bipolar (manic-depressive) illness in children. Read the first page

2.0 out of 5 stars Not Helpful Jan 26 2004
By A Customer
Format: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 Interesting, but very personal Sep 28 2003
By Sheryl Gurrentz
Format: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"
