| Summary |
Readers of this informative text will find that recently, doctors have come to understand five main types of bipolar disorder as well as a spectrum of issues that share some symptoms with it. Emotional triggers, stress, trauma, and even seasons can cause different mood episodes for different people with bipolar disorder, and this book explores the various routes people can take to determine the best ways to treat and cope with their individual cases. Readers will also learn the genetic component of bipolar disorder, as well as engage with the current discussion about gene therapy and what it could mean for those with bipolar disorder in the future. |
