New book explores early-onset bipolar disorder:

 

Connecting the Pieces:
The Discovery of Early-Onset Bipolar Disorder

By Diane Kratt and her son, Ethan Martinez (age 12)

 

In Connecting the Pieces a mother and her son tell their story about his early-onset bipolar, how it was misdiagnosed as ADHD, then finally set straight with the aid of a SPECT scan.

She writes, “We both share our perspectives of the journey by each writing our own version of the same chapter. It is a unique book that has a lot of value for parents and professionals faced with children who have challenging behavior. This topic is of current concern, especially in the wake of some recent tragedies.”
