Review
"Overall, this is a fantastic comprehensive compendium that is only surpassed by the clever illustrations that clearly demonstrate the difficult concepts and makes light of them. I would recommend this book to anyone who truly wants to understand the nature of depression and bipolar disorder and how the various psychotropic drugs function." mentalhelp.net
