People who have extreme mood swings may have bipolar disorder, or manic-depressive illness. Their moods may have nothing to do with things going on in their lives. The symptoms of bipolar disorder affect not only mood, but also how people think, behave and function. This guide discusses: • what bipolar disorder is • the symptoms, patterns and causes • the treatment options • what to expect during recovery from an episode of mania or depression • how partners and family members can be supportive and helpful. The guide will help people with bipolar disorder, along with their families and friends, navigate through the highs and lows toward recovery.

This newly revised edition is an important reference for practising pharmacists who dispense methadone. Methadone maintenance treatment (MMT) is the most effective pharmacological treatment for opioid dependence. Pharmacy staff have more contact with methadone patients than anyone else on the treatment team. The pharmacist at the front line of treatment can have a real and positive impact on patients' outcomes, offering encouragement, support and motivation as patients progress through treatment. This comprehensive, practical manual includes in-depth information on: • opioid and other substance dependence • methadone and MMT • dispensing and self-administration • methadone dosing issues minimizing diversion • continuity of care when patients are hospitalized or incarcerated • adverse effects, toxicity, overdose and withdrawal • drug interactions involving methadone (an expanded section), maintenance under special circumstances, such as pregnancy, breastfeeding, hepatic and renal impairment, and HIV/AIDS. The manual also includes 40 pages of appendices comprising information for pharmacists to share with patients. They include information on MMT, sample MMT agreements, tips for travelling, and overdose information.
