Historically, bipolar disorder has been given low priority in most health care systems and patients have often received inadequate treatment. In recent years, however, huge advances have been made in neurosciences, pharmacology and medical imaging that have helped in the understanding and care of patients with bipolar disorder. Most importantly, there is now an extensive range of evidence-based pharmacological and psychosocial treatments that can be tailored to fit the needs of patients. Despite these significant advances, there is still a wide gap between the best care for patients and the treatment they receive.
Comprehensive Care of Bipolar Disorder is a unique and original resource. Aimed at mental health clinicians, the editors have assembled a team of internationally renowned contributors to provide a complete guide to all aspects of clinical management of patients with bipolar disorder.
