Bipolar disorder is more common and deadly than we think it is, and does not look like what we think it looks like. This book helps people understand what life is like for those afflicted with bipolar disorder, what conditions seem to exacerbate it, and how it is diagnosed.

In The Other Depression, Grieco and Edwards help people understand and destigmatize those afflicted with bipolar disorder. Topics discussed include the genetic signature and environmental stresses and underpinnings of this disease, along with how it alters the functioning of the brain, and how it can be treated. The authors also introduce resources available to bipolar people and their families and suggest strategies for coping and getting on with life.

Robert Grieco, MD, has been practicing family medicine for over twenty years. Laura Edwards is a writer and a graduate of Bryn Mawr College.
