Here is today’s question: What is Bipolar Disorder? Do you really know the answer? If you are not a physician, you probably know since you have a child that suffers from the disorder. But for the rest of us we do not know how the disorder is diagnosed, what the symptoms are, if they are mistaken for something else, what do we do for treatment and what about long-term care? Many questions and our guest today has many of the answers. The book we will discuss today is called, “THE BIPOLAR CHILD: THE DEFINITIVE AND REASSURING GUIDE TO CHILDHOOD’S MOST MISUNDERSTOOD DISORDER.” Our guest today is an associate professor of psychiatry at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York, and along with his wife, Janice present a comprehensive view of early-onset bipolar disorder, focusing on how this complicated illness evolves in children. It is our honor to welcome to Your Life Matters
Dr. Demitri Papolos.
