Each year, millions of individuals struggle with the effects of this illness. Although clinically well recognized for decades, if not centuries, the causes of this condition remain incompletely
understood. However, in the past decade, significant technological advances in both neuroimaging and genetic research have revealed clues about the neurophysiological basis of bipolar illness. In this book, leading experts in neuroimaging and genetics discuss recent discoveries in bipolar disorder
that identify both the structural, functional and chemical brain changes that seem to underlie this condition, as well as the possible genetic causes of these brain events. Based upon these discussions, th then integrates these diverse considerations to develop a specific neurophysiological
model of bipolar disorder. This model provides a resource to guide clinicians and patients as they struggle to understand this illness, as well as a guide for future investigations into the causes of bipolar disorder. With this guide in hand, this book will lead to a new framework for understanding
bipolar disorder in order to, ultimately, develop improved therapies for affected individuals and novel strategies to prevent the onset in children at risk for this condition.
This groundbreaking book dives deep into cutting-edge research on bipolar disorder, blending neuroimaging and genetics for a fresh perspective. Strakowski expertly organizes complex scientific insights into an engaging read for professionals and researchers. The well-structured chapters make advanced concepts accessible while offering practical clinical applications. A must-have for anyone serious about advancing their understanding of mental health science.
