New book about bipolar disorder & kids

[Guest guest]

If you haven't discovered the bpchildren.com site, it is a pretty good

source of books and info that are suitable for kids with bipolor disorder.

, the mom who runs it, is a writer and has put together most of

the material herself. She has just written a book that is excellent in

which the kids themselves talk about how their disorder feels. Also

interviewed are adults whose bipolar symptoms surfaced as children.

You can order it from tracy@.... The book is very readable

and is something that some of our children might like to read.

Here's a blurb about the book:

Young people with bipolar disorder and adults who grew up with the

condition speak out to share how they experienced the symptoms of this

illness during their youth, and how it affected their functioning in

school, at home and with friends. Their insightful comments, woven

together by the author, form an unforgettable picture of the young

person's internal struggle and turmoil. The reader will come away with

a new understanding of these young people and a renewed commitment to

make a difference by reaching out to help.
