Bipolar in the News: The Bipolar Gene

Researchers of the Boston Mental Health Symposium may have found the gene that causes bipolar disorder. The information is so new, there is no other documentation released right now, but at least there is hope for people to find out beforehand whether or not the disorder will be a problem for themselves.

Addictive personalities

While reading information about bipolar and BPD I have found that addictive personalities run sidelong with each of these disorders. I readily admit that I have an addictive personality, as you may have seen in my previous review post. My friend also admits that she, too, has an issue with switching addictions.

Three weeks?!

I just got off the phone with the mental health office. They said it will be a few weeks before they call to SCHEDULE the appointment. That is how long it takes to process the internal referral. I am like “WHAT? I can’t wait that long!” Of course, you would think that since I have [...]

Crying because it’s more than myself

My friend and I have been chatting more and more about what seems to be wrong with me. I feel less bipolar and more psychotic seemingly every day.

Contributing factors: Addiction

I have written out a bit of my history on a collaborative blog called Don’t Pick Up. We are developing it to be a hub for addiction, those who are connected to people with addiction, and a prayer network for all of the above. Right now we are in the very beginning stages, but if [...]

Overused Tasers in Bipolar Cases

Too many times I have read about tasers being used to subdue frantic bipolar people. They have been utilized by more cops in the last year than ever before, it seems. It might not seem like a big deal to many, but tasers have gotten more efficient over the years. I was reading about the [...]
