Help for Bipolar Teens

This week Ypulse posted an interview with psychologist Russ Federman, coauthor of Facing Bipolar: The Young Adult’s Guide to Dealing With Bipolar Disorder. I thought the interview was an insightful quick view into the lives of teens and young adults who deal with this on a daily basis, and this book looks like it could be a helpful resource for youth workers.
The interview also includes a list of web-based resources, which Im reposting here as a resource to you, particularly if you know kids and families who struggle with bipolar disorder or symptoms:
