The Sweet Pickles book, Moody Moose Buttons is the only children's book I've ever seen about bipolar depression. Moody gets sad at a random time, gets happy, and gets manic-angry, yelling and chasing around the alligator.
The solution is simplistic. Moody wears a button to show everyone what mood he is in. It's a nice idea, but I don't know if it's practical. I have bipolar disorder, but wearing a button to show everyone what I feel... I'm afraid I'd jinx myself into becoming depressed or manic-angry if I wore a smiley face.
His buttons read "sweet" and "sour", like he's Sour Patch candy. Not sure how I feel about that.
