Bipolar Disorder in
Children
Who has it
and what you can do
By Martha Hellander, J.D.
Bipolar disorder (also known as "bipolar illness" or
"manic-depressive illness") is a treatable neurobiological brain disorder
believed to occur in at least 1-2 percent of the adolescent and adult population. As many
as one million or more children under 18 in the U.S. may have bipolar disorder (mostly
undiagnosed and untreated). Children with bipolar disorder are at risk for school failure,
substance abuse, and suicide. Children as young as 3 may talk of wanting to "make
myself dead." What are the signs and symptoms of this problem and what can you do
about it? Find out more.Bedwetting

Bipolar Disorder
Perspectives
Author Judith Allee of Homeschooling on a Shoestring
gives her thoughts on bipolar disorder in children and how it can often be confused with
ADD. She says, "Many (maybe most) of the adults diagnosed with bi-polar seem to go
through multiple diagnoses before finding help, partly because bi-polar is difficult to
diagnose, and partly because doctors seem to be leery about "labeling" a child
with bi-polar. Part of the confusion is that kids with bipolar may have very different
symptoms from adults." Find out more.
The Millionaire
Mind

millionaire with a groundbreaking new study, "The Millionaire Mind." In an
easy-to-understand and often anecdotal style, "The Millionaire Mind" tells the
stories of how people--a bus driver, a second-quality-textile entrepreneur, a Fortune 500
CEO--adopted the millionaire mindset to become financially independent.

Menopause and the
Mind:
The Complete Guide to Coping with Memory Loss, Foggy
Thinking, Verbal Confusion, and Other Cognitive Effects of Perimenopause and Menopause
by Claire L., Ph.D. Warga
 
Menopause and the Mind gives every woman the survival kit she needs to manage the
thinking and memory symptoms -- long overlooked by the medical establishment -- that
accompany the onset of perimenopause and menopause. Neuropsychologist Claire Warga
provides the first scientific explanation for this common "hormonal
misconnection" syndrome. Drawing upon recent brain and clinical research, she shows
that forgetfulness, malapropisms, and lost concentration are not manifestations of
dementia or senility; instead, they result from the depletion of estrogen in the brain
cells of women as they enter perimenopause and menopause. Armed with this knowledge, Warga
offers women a breakthrough plan for regaining control and confidence in their minds. |
