"By providing the cold hard facts about manic depression, Torrey and Knable demystify the illness for its victims and their loved ones. Boldly confronting the lore associated with this disease and its different incarnations, Torrey and Knable separate fact from fiction, dispelling myths about the link between manic depression and prenatal exposure to influenza, for example, but providing evidence to support such ideas as the higher incidence of depression in urban areas. They give factual, non-sensationalized accounts of the disease, from patients' own words, and a detailed list of conditions often mistaken for manic-depressive illness. With special features such as a listing of selected websites, books, videotapes, and other resources, Surviving Manic Depression is the essential handbook for anyone living with manic-depressive illness." -From the Publisher
