Essential reading for all healthprofessionals managing mood disorders as well as for patients seeking information about their condition and treatment options. The lifetime risk of developing bipolar II disorder is 5-7%, yet the condition is often poorly detected. Mood elevation states are less extreme than in bipolar I disorder although the depressive episodes are usually severe. When correctly treated, the outcome ispositive, but bipolar II is often poorly managed, resulting in a high suiciderate. This is the only academic and clinical management review focusing entirely on bipolar II, scrutinizing history, epidemiology, burden and neurobiologyand including an extensive clinical debate by international experts about effective management strategies. New chapters cover comorbidity, over-representedpersonality styles, illness 'trajectories' and distinguishing bipolar II frompersonality-based emotional dysregulation states. Evidence for different clinical management options is reviewed in detail, two clinical management models are presented and then debated. This book is essential reading for all health professionals managing mood disorders and informative to patients seeking information about their condition and treatment options. Advance praise: 'This book not only helps clinicians navigate an uncharted area but also paves the roadfor further scholarly research of a disease with such a high burden of suffering â€a This stimulating and insightful book should be on the reading list of every clinician who cares for patients with mood disorders.' Annals of Clinical Psychiatry 'How do you write a book about a disorder that is ill defined andlittle researched? You could just outline the depth of ignorance and point out potentially useful paths but Parker has instead given readers the benefit ofexperience combined with what evidence is available â€a if you are looking for a book that gives you the way to understand and treat bipolar II then Dr Parker's regimen may well be what you are looking for.' Psychological Medicine 'Although this book does not provide 'the answers' to what a clinician should doin every instance of treating a patient with bipolar II disorder, it providesa wealth of data and informed opinion. Any clinician with bipolar II patientsmay wish to consult this comprehensive volume when faced with a challenging bipolar II patient.' Journal of Clinical Psychiatry 'This substantial book on the 'newcomer' of bipolar II disorder was a pleasure to read and review, not only because the topic required such a definitive work, but also because of the inclusive structure and style â€a the lucidity of the work makes it suitable for both trainees and experts alike. The interested consumer or carer will alsofind it beneficial and its language is largely approachable.' Australian Psychiatry 'The way most of the chapters are written should make it easy - even for colleagues who are not too familiar with the recent developments in the field of the 'bipolar spectrum' - to better understand the issues about bipolar IIdisorder, its treatment, and its management â€a this book is a helpful resource for clinicians and provides a well-written introduction into bipolar II disorder for researchers from different points of views.'
