CHICAGO, Sept. 20, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Aimee Daramus, Psy.D., clinical psychologist, has been quoted on topics related to mental illness in Bustle, HuffPost, wellandgood.com, Mic.com, and several other media outlets.

• Understandable descriptions of the science behind bipolar disorder
• Actionable tips for communicating, handling emergencies, tracking moods and symptoms, and putting together the right treatment team for the whole family
• How outcomes in bipolar treatment are affected by family conflict
• Therapy and support options for exhausted, frustrated family members
• Special topics and examples to show the different experiences of children, teens, people on the LGBTQ spectrum, and people of color

Understanding Bipolar Disorder is rated 4.8/5 stars on Amazon's Customer Reviews. Quotations from the reviews include:

"If you have questions Dr. Daramus provides the answers. By the end of the book, the reader will have a mini education and the tools to navigate this difficult disorder."

"Aimee introduces this mental illness in such a manner that does not stigmatize individuals with bipolar and provides hope for a happy life with a diagnosis."

"Literally within minutes of cracking the virtual covers, my knowledge of bipolar disorder grew a great deal, including the dispelling of some less-than-accurate beliefs I'd held."

Understanding Bipolar Disorder: The Essential Family Guide is available at Amazon

(https://www.amazon.com/dp/1647390001), Barnes and Noble, Barbara's Bookstore, and Bookshop.
