Bipolar Disorder : Diagnosis, Psychopharmacology, and Treatment
Overview
Bipolar Disorder: Diagnosis, Psychopharmacology, & Treatment is a comprehensive, evidence-based examination of bipolar disorder integrating contemporary diagnostic frameworks, neurobiological research, psychopharmacology, psychological interventions, and evolving approaches to treatment across the bipolar spectrum.
Designed as both an educational resource and an academic reference, the book progresses from the historical and clinical foundations of bipolar disorder through diagnosis, symptom presentation, genetics, neurobiology, comorbidities, pharmacological treatment, psychosocial interventions, and emerging therapeutic research. Detailed discussions address manic, depressive, mixed, cyclothymic, and treatment-resistant presentations while examining the biological, psychological, and social factors that can influence the course of illness.
A substantial portion of the text examines psychopharmacology and evidence-based treatment, including mood stabilizers, antipsychotics, antidepressants, adjunctive therapies, acute and maintenance treatment, medication mechanisms, side-effect considerations, monitoring, and adherence. Psychological and psychosocial approaches are explored alongside emerging areas including ketamine and esketamine, neuromodulation, chronotherapeutics, precision psychiatry, telepsychiatry, and digital mental health.
