Publisher's summary

Compassionate and comprehensive, Dr. Francis Mondimore's path-breaking guide has helped thousands of people and their loved ones cope with bipolar disorder. Now in its third edition, Bipolar Disorder has been thoroughly updated with new information about the causes of the disorder, tools for diagnosis, and advances in treatment. Dr. Mondimore surveys new medications for treating bipolar disorder, including asenapine, iloperidone, paliperidone, lurasidone, and oxcarbazepine, exploring the benefits and potential side effects of each. He also reviews the scientific studies that back up claims for recommended nutritional supplements, such as omega-3s and NAC - and tells you which ones to leave on the shelf.

Dr. Mondimore discusses recent changes in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) and reviews the exciting new findings of the largest multicenter evaluation of best-treatment practices for bipolar disorder ever carried out, the Systematic Treatment Enhancement Program for Bipolar Disorder (STEP-BD). He describes how these findings, gleaned from the treatment experiences of thousands of patients, will improve treatment decisions.

With insight and sensitivity, Dr. Mondimore makes complex medical concepts easy to understand and describes what it is like for people to live with bipolar disorder. He recommends changes to daily routines and lifestyle that will improve the quality of life for patients and offers expert advice on planning for emergencies and identifying when and how to seek help. Throughout the audiobook, Dr. Mondimore focuses on the importance of building a support system for everyone affected by this unpredictable illness.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Narrator over does charecters and Italic

He vocalize intent and context that does not appear in the text, over does feminine voices to the level of felling almost mocking, and over does italic.
a much more moderate and nuetral narrating wouldbhave been much much better.

Great book un bp

Great book overall, I would just liked that the narrator didn’t make a somewhat ridiculous interpretation of woman voices when narrating their experiences. My only gripe.

Narrator over does parentheses voice

Narrator over does the tone of voice he adopts for words in parentheses or italics - And there’s a lot of those. Other than that. Great content.

Bipolar Disorder

It gave we a better view of a bipolar event. I was thrown into a family member’s first bipolar episode with no idea what was to happen. I now have a guide and resource material for the future.

Awesome info

Very knowledgeable author, super helpful and well-rounded info.
Narrator does a strange thing in which he lowers his voice to read what’s in parentheses. But no big deal.
Recommended!
