Bipolar disorder is a common, complex and costly mental health disorder, which sits at the heart of the practice of clinical psychiatry.

Effective treatments (pharmacological, psychological and brain stimulation based) have all been discovered serendipitously.  

With the huge advances in basic neuroscience the way is now clear for novel treatments to be developed based on brain science. This book reviews these possibilities.
