Dr. Jamison is one of the foremost authorities on manic-depressive (bipolar) illness; she has also experienced it firsthand. For even while she was pursuing her career in academic medicine, Jamison found herself succumbing to the same exhilarating highs and catastrophic depressions that afflicted many of her patients, as her disorder launched her into ruinous spending sprees, episodes of violence, and an attempted suicide. Here Jamison examines bipolar illness from the dual perspectives of the healer and the healed, revealing both its terrors and the cruel allure that at times prompted her to resist taking medication.

Book Synopsis A First-Rate Madness by : Nassir Ghaemi
Download or read book A First-Rate Madness written by Nassir Ghaemi and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2012-06-26 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New York Times bestseller “A glistening psychological history, faceted largely by the biographies of eight famous leaders . . .” —The Boston Globe “A provocative thesis . . . Ghaemi’s book deserves high marks for original thinking.” —The Washington Post “Provocative, fascinating.” —Salon.com Historians have long puzzled over the apparent mental instability of great and terrible leaders alike: Napoleon, Lincoln, Churchill, Hitler, and others. In A First-Rate Madness, Nassir Ghaemi, director of the Mood Disorders Program at Tufts Medical Center, offers a myth-shattering exploration of the powerful connections between mental illness and leadership and sets forth a controversial, compelling thesis: The very qualities that mark those with mood disorders also make for the best leaders in times of crisis. From the importance of Lincoln's "depressive realism" to the lackluster leadership of exceedingly sane men as Neville Chamberlain, A First-Rate Madness overturns many of our most cherished perceptions about greatness and the mind.

Book Synopsis What Goes Up--surviving the Manic Episode of a Loved One by : Judy Eron
Download or read book What Goes Up--surviving the Manic Episode of a Loved One written by Judy Eron and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1987, Judy Eron married a brilliant man. Her husband, Jim, was bipolar but remained stable until a vacation the couple took in June 1996, when he forgot to bring his prescribed lithium and quickly launched into a year-long manic phase. His mania culminated, inevitably, in severe depression that led to his suicide in October 1997. During those confusing and frightening months, Jim became a stranger to Judy. Even she, a mental health counselor, and he, a psychologist, could not prevent Jim's downward spiral, although as she now knows, there were many "wrong" choices that Judy could have avoided making. During Jim's prolonged manic phase, Judy was unable to find any literature focused on the manic element of bipolar disorder. After his death, she set out to write the kind of book she had sought. What Goes Up... is more than just Judy's story of loving and living with someone in the manic phase. Drawing on her experience as a mental health counselor, Eron offers advice and coping strategies for readers with loved ones or friends who also suffer from this illness. She provides advice on what they should expect from someone in the midst of a manic episode, how to engage with that person, how to get help for that person, and how to maintain their own sanity and strength in the face of such unpredictable and intense behavior.

Book Synopsis My Bipolar, Roller Coaster, Feelings Book by : Bryna Hebert
Download or read book My Bipolar, Roller Coaster, Feelings Book written by Bryna Hebert and published by Trafford on Demand Pub. This book was released on 2005 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pediatric Bipolar Disorder is a neurobiological disorder that requires medical treatment. Even with successful medical treatment, however, both children and adults with bipolar disorder usually need coping skillls to manage and live with this challenging illness. The purpose of this book is to help the child with bipolar disorder better understand his or her feelings, and feel less alone in this world. This book is written for elementary school age children, but may be of use for those younger or older. Children with bipolar disorder usually have strong emotional responses to their world. The first step to treating this illness is proper medical attention. Once these children receive treatment, it is important to help them identify, understand, cope with and manage these feelings. In order to give children a sense of control over these strong feelings, a caring adult can first learn how to label their feelings. Next, guide the child to strategize appropriate responses and practice or role play the strategies. Our hope is that this book facilitates discussions with your child to help in that process. In using this book, help the child understand that feelings are an emotional response to stimulus, and it's very hard, if not impossible, to change those initial feelings. What a healthy and stable child can learn to do, however, is manage the resulting behavior and choose how much control feelings have over their lives. In other words, while it is acceptable to be angry, it is not acceptable to act destructively because of that anger. That doesn't mean, however, that an unstable child should be expected to control their illness through sheer willpower.
Book Synopsis Chemotherapy in Psychiatry by : Ross J. Baldessarini
Download or read book Chemotherapy in Psychiatry written by Ross J. Baldessarini and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-09-28 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Use of psychotropic drugs has come to dominate clinical practice in psychiatry worldwide—perhaps owing largely to perceived simplicity, ease of use, and apparent efficiency, as well as apparent cost-effectiveness of such treatments. Nevertheless, medicinal treatments for patients with psychiatric disorders are but one component of comprehensive clinical care of complex human problems. Extensively updated since its second edition in 1985, Chemotherapy in Psychiatry, Third Edition, again addresses basic aspects of modern psychopharmacology and clinical applications of drugs used in the treatment of major psychiatric disorders, with major emphasis on psychotic, bipolar, and depressive disorders. The presentation covers descriptions of the main classes of psychotropic drugs, selected information concerning their known action mechanisms and metabolic disposition, and their clinical applications for acute illnesses and to prevent recurrences and long-term morbidity. Also covered are limitations and adverse effects of each type of agent, with emphasis on the fact that all psychotropic medicines have adverse effects that range from annoying to potentially lethal. Chemotherapy in Psychiatry, Third Edition, outlines the need to balance benefits and risks at the level of individual persons. Authoritative, and an important contribution to the literature, Chemotherapy in Psychiatry, Third Edition is an invaluable resource for physicians, scientists, trainees, and policymakers.
