{"product_id":"finding-sanity-greg-de-moore-9781760113704","title":"Finding Sanity: John Cade, Lithium and the Taming of Bipolar Disorder","description":"In 1948, there was no medication for bipolar illness. Sufferers from the illness would live their lives--if they survived--in and out of asylums accumulating life's wreckage around them. But late in 1948 that changed, when an Australian doctor, John Cade, discovered a treatment that has become the gold standard for bipolar illness--lithium. John Cade changed the course of medicine with his discovery of lithium; yet today most doctors have never heard of his name. His discovery has stopped more people from committing suicide than a thousand help lines, yet few counselors know of him. And it has saved hundreds of billions of dollars in health care costs--enough to rival a nation's economy--but you can bet that no politician has the slightest idea of who John Cade was. Lithium is the penicillin story of mental health; the first effective medication discovered for the treatment of a mental illness; and a great story in the history of mental health.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Greg De Moore, Ann Westmore\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1760113700\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781760113704\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Allen \u0026amp; Unwin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 5.90w x 1.10d","brand":"Greg De Moore","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44078613102847,"sku":"9781760113704","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6b6f6ac1-a904-4605-aa9c-d52ce0993b3e.jpg?v=1685476502","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/finding-sanity-greg-de-moore-9781760113704","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
