In The Other Depression, Grieco and Edwards help people understand and destigmatize those afflicted with bipolar disorder. Topics discussed include the genetic signature and environmental stresses and underpinnings of this disease, along with how it alters the functioning of the brain, and how it can be treated. The authors also introduce resources available to bipolar people and their families and suggest strategies for coping and getting on with life.

Review

'The need to distinguish between recurrent unipolar depression and bipolar depression is critical and can be life-saving. Grieco and Edwards have written an easy-to-read book that will help primary care doctors, patients, and families understand these important differences. They humanize the condition and their approach helps to reduce the stigma of bipolar disorder. I continue to recommend the book to my patients and their families.' - Neil S. Kaye, MD, DFAPA, Assistant Professor, Psychiatry and Human Behavior, Family Practice, Thomas Jefferson University College of Medicine

'Poignant stories of pain and suffering and ultimately tales of hope after accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment. I urge patients, families, and physicians to read and reflect on these stories and join together to address this sometimes enigmatic but imminently treatable disorder.' - Jeff Susman, MD, Chair, Family Medicine, University of Cincinnati
