Abstract:	This book is intended to bring together all the basic information needed by parents of a child or teenager diagnosed with a bipolar disorder. Professionals who work with bipolar youth should also find it useful. The first two chapters provide a broad overview of the entire bipolar disorders family, and explain how they are diagnosed. Subsequent chapters cover family issues, treatment options, dealing with insurance problems and the healthcare system, school, and transi-tion planning for bipolar teens.
