Living with Bipolar Disorder
by Dr Neel Burton
Bipolar disorder affects around one in 100 people, and typically develops in late adolescence or early adulthood, affecting women and men equally. Often not recognized as an illness, it can cause years of suffering before it is properly diagnosed and treated. Like diabetes or heart disease, bipolar disorder is a long-term illness that must be carefully managed throughout a person’s life. Living with Bipolar Disorder looks at relevant topics such as what bipolar disorder actually is, diagnosis, including differential diagnoses, and management using alternative, drug and psychological therapy.
Neel Burton is a psychiatrist practising in Oxford with a specialist interest in neuroscience and philosophy. He is the author of Living with Schizophrenia, (Sheldon Press) which won the Medical Journalists’ Association Open Book Award 2008, and was commended in the 2008 British Medical Association Medical Book Competition.
