This guideline covers the recognition, assessment and management of bipolar disorder in children, young people and adults. It includes specific recommendations for diagnosis in children and young people because presentation in these age groups can be complicated by other conditions such as ADHD. The recommendations apply to people with bipolar I, bipolar II, mixed affective and rapid cycling disorders. The guideline highlights the key priorities for implementation in relation to: care across all phases of bipolar disorder; recognising and managing bipolar disorder in adults in primary care; managing mania or hypomania in adults in secondary care; managing bipolar depression in adults in secondary care; managing bipolar disorder in adults in the longer term in secondary care; and recognising, diagnosing and managing bipolar disorder in children and young people.

This NICE guideline makes recommendations for the prediction, detection and treatment of mental disorders in women during pregnancy and the postnatal period (up to 1 year after delivery). It includes advice on the care of women with an existing mental disorder who are planning a pregnancy, and on the organisation of mental health services. The guideline covers the care of women with anxiety disorders, and depression. It also covers the treatment of postnatal psychotic disorders (often referred to as puerperal psychosis), which predominantly comprise bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. It includes advice on the teratogenic risk of psychotropic medications and on the risks of their use during breastfeeding. The focus is on balancing the risks for each woman and her child against those of leaving the mental disorder untreated or inadequately treated. The guidance is based on the best available evidence but points to the limited evidence base in some areas. It is noted that no psychotropic drug has marketing authorisation specifically for pregnant or breastfeeding women. The guideline is intended to be read in conjunction with existing NICE guidance on the treatment and management of mental disorders which also includes advice on the most appropriate organisation of services for the delivery of effective treatment within a stepped-care framework.

The printed version of the full evidence-based clinical guideline on psychosis with coexisting substance misuse (Clinical Guideline 120), commissioned by the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE). Developed by a multidisciplinary team the guidelines aim to provide advice on providing and planning high-quality care for people with psychosis and coexisting substance misuse while also emphasising the importance of the experience of care for people with psychosis and coexisting substance misuse and their families, carers or significant others. The first three chapters provide a general introduction to guidelines and the topic of psychosis with coexisting substance misuse, and to the methods used to develop this guideline. Chapters 4 to 9 provide the evidence that underpins the recommendations. These cover assessment and care pathways; service delivery models (including integrated services and inpatient care); psychological and psychosocial interventions; pharmacological and physical interventions; and young people with psychosis and coexisting substance misuse. A chapter also cover the experiences of service users, their carers and their families, including personal accounts and a review of the qualitative literature. The final chapter provides a summary of recommendations. The accompanying CD-ROM provides information about the clinical studies included and excluded and further details of the methodology. The guidance is relevant for those providing primary, community, secondary, tertiary and other healthcare professionals working directly with adults and young people with psychosis and coexisting substance misuse.

Within the context of the growing demands for ethical, legal, and fiscal accountability in psychosocial practices, this book provides a comprehensive resource for social workers and other human service professionals. Examining both adult disorders and problems and disorders of couples, children, and families, the book looks at how to 1) conduct clinical assessments informed by current human behaviour science; 2) implement interventions supported by current outcome research; and 3) engage in evaluation as part of daily practice to ensure effective implementation of evidence-based practices. Sample assessment/evaluation instruments (contributed by leading experts) allow practitioners and students to better understand their use as both assessment and evaluation tools. Case studies and sample treatment plans help the reader bridge the gap between clinical research and everyday practice. Overall, the book provides practitioners and students with a thoroughly researched yet practice-oriented resource for learning and implementing effective assessment, intervention and evaluation methods for a wide array of psychosocial disorders and problems-in-living in adults, children and families.
