More than three million people in the United States suffer from bipolar
disorder, a mental illness that is now classified as one of the ten
leading causes of disability in the US and the world. While psychiatric
drugs may control bipolar disorder, they do not offer any lasting cure
and carry the risk of lasting side effects. The Natural Medicine Guide
to Bipolar Disorder offers an alternative: innovative, natural,
non-drug based approaches that treat the underlying imbalances and
restore a healthy mind.
Medical journalist Stephanie Marohn identifies the key contributing
factors and triggers for mood disorder and profiles a wide range of
natural medicine therapies that can truly restore health: biochemical
therapy, applied psychoneurobiology, biological medicine, nutritional
therapy, cranial osteopathy, allergy elimination, homeopathy, amino
acid/nutritional therapy, and more. This fully revised edition offers
the latest statistics, research, and interviews with physicians and
other healing professionals who are leaders in the field. Each approach
is illustrated with case studies and includes resources for additional
information.
This is an accessible approach to bipolar disorder, full of helpful
information and anecdotes that will be a valuable resource for those who
suffer from this disorder as well as their family and friends.
