Bipolar depressions are mistaken for personality disorders, panic attacks hyperactivity, and substance abuse. This book will teach you to recognize these depressions for you and the ones you love.

NOTE - This is an excellent book and I highly recommend that you get it. I have personally spoken to Michael R. Bartos, MD, and he is very knowledgeable about depression and bipolar disorder. I gave this book to my mom and she says,

I love Dr. Bartos's book. His book is super easy to read and I really like the information he has on preventing episodes. I wish I had this information years ago. I think anyone who is bipolar or thinks they are bipolar must read this book from cover to cover.
