  • Had a lot of basic information

    This book had basic information. The only new information was the breakdown on particular medications. That was helpful, but I could have gotten it elsewhere and cheaper than the price of this book. Would not buy it if I had to do it over again. If a person is just beginning to learn about Bipolar Disorder I could see how this book would be helpful. Beyond basic information, it really isn’t.
