One in 4 bipolar, the bipolar patch
 I was just reading that one in 4 patients with a major depressive disorder actually have bipolar. Is that hard to believe? Well, I don’t know. I just know that it is an awfully high number. Technically I come from a family of 5. By all rights, that means that my sister *should* be bipolar.

Amy Winehouse has gone to rehab. Yes, it’s true. She sang that great song about rehab and her daddy thinking she was fine. In a shocking twist of irony, her father (in law) is the one that came to the press and told the truth about why she dropped out of her tour. Sad and [...]

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 [...]
I guess I was right about Spring
I was just reading about how the rate of suicide increases as Spring approaches. I guess my feelings were spot on. I have been increasingly agitated with the coming spring. Has it been to the point of considering suicide? No, but I have been wishing for Jesus to come back LOL It’s a terrible feeling…to [...]
Bipolar Disorder & Depression: In the News #3
Not much going on recently, but I did find out that the University of Michigan is doing something rather rare. They have just acquired $41 million in funding to open a Depression Center.
The three-story, 112,500 square-foot-building has a glass-enclosed lobby, an atrium topped with a large skylight and a rear façade made entirely of [...]
Bipolar Disorder: A sad day
I just read some disturbing news about a bipolar youth who was tazed to death in Jerseyville. He had been sitting outside a Walgreens with a Bible in his hands screaming for Jesus and his mother. I think it is sick that five policemen thought it was alright to shoot him with 5 tazers [...]
