Over twenty million adults in America suffer from either a depressive or bipolar mood disorder, but many go without treatment. In fact, a study published in 2010 in The Archives of General Psychiatry found that 49 percent of those with major depression did not receive any treatment for their condition.
And many people suffering from bipolar disorder also go without treatment or are misdiagnosed with depression.
This book aims to empower readers by providing the tools needed to negotiate the complex pathway to a full and lasting recovery from depression or bipolar disorder.
Depression and Bipolar Disorder: Your Guide to Recovery helps readers determine whether they need help. Those who are diagnosed with a mood disorder will learn how to best collaborate with their medical team.
Offering in-depth information about these two mood disorders, it draws on the latest findings from the field of neurobiology and offers extensive advice for finding help and collaborating with providers.
The book provides forms and charts to help readers determine whether or not they are suffering from a mood disorder and comprehensive information about the three main barriers to recovery:
- Not receiving treatment
- Incorrect diagnosis
- Receiving inadequate treatment.
In this book, information about medication and treatment is straightforward and summarized in helpful charts. Throughout the book author William Marchand’s voice comes through in a positive, stigma-free style that reassures readers that they will get better.
