Handbook of Diagnosis and Treatment of Bipolar Disorders
This
readable guide to the assessment and management of patients with
bipolar disorder can help physicians keep abreast of dramatic and rapid
advances of recent years and integrate them into their practice.
Handbook of Diagnosis and Treatment of Bipolar Disorders emphasizes
recent controlled studies and U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
approved indications and translates these data into the real world of
clinical practice. The contributions of the eleven chapter authors from
Stanford University reflect more than a decade of clinical research and
treatment undertaken at that institution, including advances in
diagnosis and interventions supported by controlled studies. The manual
provides crucial information regarding diagnosis, pharmacotherapy,
psychotherapy, and treatment of patients from special populations such
as children, women, and older adults and patients with particularly
challenging illness courses such as rapid cycling.
This is the first book to provide quantitative assessment of potential
benefit (number needed to treat) and risk (number needed to harm) for
all approved treatments for bipolar disorder, providing clinicians with
information needed to balance benefits and risks in order to render
individualized state-of-the-art, evidence-based care. The manual
describes all FDA-approved therapies reviewing efficacy, safety,
tolerability, pharmacokinetics, illness phase specific dosing, and drug
interactions and summarizes published therapeutic data, as well as
results of randomized controlled clinical trials very recently presented
at major scientific conferences
