This book is about a revolutionary understanding the author has had as a result of his fifty plus years experience as a psychiatrist and child psychiatrist. That fact is that Bipolar Disorders are occurring in epidemic proportions in the U.S. and else where, especially in children, but few of us are aware of it. Most children and adults who are seen by the psychiatrists and child psychiatrists especially, are suffering from Bipolar Disorders but most of them are misunderstood to have problems like A.D.H.D; O.D.D., D.M.D.D. borderline personality disorders, PTSD, Conduct Disorders, narcissistic personality, Autism Spectrum, depression or anxiety only, and this misdiagnosis results in wrong and ineffective treatment measures that can lead to unnecessary suffering and even catastrophe. Many people so misunderstood, misdiagnosed and given wrong treatments even end their lives or are incarcerated repeatedly as unrecognized Bipolar Disorders can lead to very troubled and troublesome lives. The number of children and adults suffering from unrecognized Bipolar Disorders is so high that it is destroying the very fabric of our society and humanity itself. Bipolar disorders being genetic illnesses, is spreading like wild fire through succeeding generations, causing untold suffering for those affected by it and their near and dear ones and the country itself, and it will only get worse with each generation, unless we understand this fact and address it as a national catastrophe second to none. The author describes in detail what he has learned as to how Bipolar Disorders present in children and adults in manners that confound professionals and others that lead to misdiagnosis and disaster for the patient and points out features that will help professionals recognize the true nature of the problem so that proper measures can be instituted for the benefit of everyone. The author analyzes the cases of some mass shooters and point out how they suffered from Bipolar Disorders that resulted in the tragedy that even very experienced experts failed to understand and how these mass shooters started showing signs of Bipolar Disorders since childhood, that professionals could not recognize for what they were, gave wrong and even dangerous treatments, all of which ended up in unnecessary death and mayhem. Some of the other findings the author presents in this book from his experience is the association of Bipolar Disorders with other psychiatric phenomena like OCD, anorexia nervosa, body dysmorphia, I.B.S., Misophonia, catatonia and others and that they could all be manifestation of the same or related genetic defects. The author characterizes Bipolar disorder as the Great Masquerader in psychiatry and how professionals can go beyond the veiling and identify the true problem: Bipolar Disorders. The surprising fact that most children and adults psychiatrists see, even in outpatient clinics are suffering from Bipolar Disorders, is a finding that will surprise even the most experienced of psychiatrists. American Psychiatric Association has confused the understanding and identification of Bipolar disorders in children by introducing the erroneous concept of D.M.D.D. The author points out why this is an error and this error should be rectified for the sake of all children so misunderstood and mistreated. The connection between Bipolar disorders, severe drug use, disintegration of families, homelessness and the disintegration of our society are all addressed in this book. So also, most importantly, since Bipolar Disorders are genetic illnesses and the wide spread occurrence of this illness is not understood by most people, it is spreading like wild fire through generations . A cure for this problem by ultimately correcting the genetic errors should be the country's #1 task after COVID is defeated. The author also predicts ADHD will cease to be a true condition within fifty years and why!
