Take Charge of Bipolar Disorder (häftad, eng)

Most people diagnosed with bipolar disorder are sent home with the name of a doctor and multiple prescriptions. However, few people with bipolar disorder are able to find long-term stability with medications alone. Bipolar disorder researcher and expert Julie A. Fast, who was diagnosed with the illness at age thirty-one, and specialist John Preston, PsyD, offer the pioneering Take Charge program used around the world to help readers promote stability, reduce mood swings, increase work ability, decrease health care costs, and improve relationships.

The book guides those with bipolar disorder and their loved ones toward a comprehensive personal treatment plan by incorporating:

* Medications and bipolar-safe supplements

* Lifestyle changes that help manage bipolar symptoms naturally

* Behaviour modifications that reduce and prevent symptoms

* Guidelines on assembling an effective support team


By helping readers gather powerful strategies, Take Charge of Bipolar Disorder delivers a dynamic program to treat this difficult but ultimately manageable illness.
