Bipolar disorder is the term used to describe what was once known as manic depression. Bipolar disorder is becoming more and more common, particularly in young adults, alhtough people of all age ranges can suffer from the condition. This Second Edition, as with all the guides in the Explaining series, aims to provide an insight into bipolar disorder and explores the background to the condition, the symptoms, and various treatments on offer. It also explores the way those with this condition can help themselves, through lifestyle modifications such as diet and exercise. The research is up to date to 2019.

Diabetes, particularly Type 2 Diabetes, is perhaps one of the biggest health threats we face today. There are a number of factors, creating a 'perfect storm' which come together to create diabetes, not least the diet we eat and the lifestyles adopted generally in the 21st century. Explaining Diabetes is a comprehensive guide to diabetes whether type 1 or type 2 and offers the reader guidelines which will help to either avoid the onset or, if already diagnosed, to manage the condition.
