* Reviews *
Disease Update series. Published spring 2008. Stories of people who overcame these complex conditions precede chapters on their histories, manifestations, diagnoses, and treatments. Frequent personal stories (some of well-known sufferers, as summarized in the awkwardly titled chart "Some Famous People with Mood Disorders"), sidebars, and color photos break up the otherwise dry, factual texts. A question-and-answer section concludes each book. Reading list, timeline, websites. Glos., ind., The Horn Book Guide Spring 2009
