Psychiatrist Aims to Satisfy Public Craving to Understand Bipolar Disorder with Print-on-Demand Availability of Rollercoaster: Finding and Treating Bipolar and other Unstable Mood Disorders at Lulu.com

AUSTIN, TEXAS—AUGUST 15, 2007— H. Paul Putman III, MD teaches frustrated patients and their families about Bipolar Disorder with the publication of Rollercoaster: Finding and Treating Bipolar and other Unstable Mood Disorders in conjunction with Lulu (Click here).

Rollercoaster: Finding and Treating Bipolar and other Unstable Mood Disorders explains how unstable mood disorders such as Bipolar Disorder are diagnosed and treated  since understanding the various types of depressive and other mood disorders can be difficult and confusing.  Eleven case examples illustrate the symptoms and available treatments. Chapters on children, adolescents and pregnancy are also included.

Dr. Putman, a practicing psychiatrist, wrote Rollercoaster: Finding and Treating Bipolar and other Unstable Mood Disorders as a useful handbook for patients, families, mental health workers, non-psychiatric physicians and physician extenders. Rollercoaster: Finding and Treating Bipolar and other Unstable Mood Disorders is available for purchase at www.lulu.com, Click here and www.amazon.com.

“Previously there was no book to recommend to my patients that directly explained what these disorders were and how they were diagnosed and treated,” says Dr. Putman.  “Many books on Bipolar Disorder are out of date or overly general and vague. My book is direct and to the point about what matters and what can be done.” Patients have welcomed the book as “very helpful for the average person,” adding “the book is very explanatory about the moods, medication choices and how to tell your family about this disease.”
