If Your Adolescent Has Depression or Bipolar Disorder Book Cover

While coping with teenage moodiness can be difficult under any circumstances, it can be especially challenging if a teenager has a serious mood disorder. This concise, readable book is the definitive guide to understanding and getting effective help for adolescents with depression or bipolar disorder, designed for parents and other adults in contact with afflicted teens.

This is a wonderful, understandable, science-based resource for parents trying to understand and help their teenagers who are suffering much more than the usual turmoil of adolescence. It speaks both to the origins and treatments of adolescent depression, and helps parents understand what they can and can't do to help their children.
