El trastorno bipolar y la familia / The Bipolar Disorder And The Family: Sobrevivir en los extremos (Spanish Edition) - Softcover

Bipolar Disorder and the Family Find out everything about bipolar disorder and how to deal with it Nowadays, one of the greatest problems involving depression is the ease with which it seems to be diagnosed: bipolarity seems to be in fashion. Someone subject to mood swings could be quickly catalogued as having bipolar disorder. There are people who, in order to justify their mood changes, claim they are bipolar. Many find the term suggestive; there is a band called Bipolar and a bar known as La Bipolar in Mexico City's Coyoacán district. This is, however, a serious, complex, and risky psychiatric disease. A person's moods can change depending on circumstance or, at times, for no good reason. That does not mean they are bipolar. Those who have this disease suffer deeply and do not do so by choice. Suicide is a serious risk for bipolar patients, even if they have everything to be happy in life; the idea can take root in their minds and lead to an intense desire to end an incredibly painful emotional state that appears endless. Bipolar disorder does not only affect sufferers, but also those who care for and interact with them. First and foremost and for the sake of the patient, family and friends must learn as much as possible about the disease and how to treat it. Knowing what to do and what not to do is a crucial step in the reduction of involved risks. It is Doctor Lammoglia's purpose to address these issues and provide all the necessary information to aid in the patient's recovery.
