Dear Deana,
I would strongly recommend a book by depression specialist
J.Raymond DePauloJr., M.D Professor of Psychiatry and current Director of the Affective (Mood) Disorders Clinic at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. He is a research expert and clinician on depression and bi-polar disorder. The book is called: Understanding Depression; What we know and what we can do about it. He is internationally regarded as one of the world's foremost authorities on the subject. His book is detailed, comprehensive and easy to follow. In it he discusses the symptoms and causes of biploar disorder. The clinic itself also offers an opportunity for a one time consultation and diagnosis.
It is published by John Wiley & Sons Inc. It is an indispensible source of accurate, medical information.
Best of luck
Renée
