Hello @ebingo,
When I saw the title of this blog I had a good idea about what the discussion might entail. My experience with the disorder dates back to my days as a teacher. The school was dedicated to adolescents who had psychiatric disorders. The children were dealing with depression, eating disorder, schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Those who struggled with depression ran a high risk of attempted suicide, but the children who suffered from schizophrenia and bipolar disorder seemed to be most difficult to treat. Their diseases required serious medication, and even then there would be breakthrough events.
For me, reading about bipolar disorder is not an objective exercise. I can see the faces of individuals (one especially ) who would be affected by this for a lifetime.
Thanks for writing about this issue. Information may not help those affected, but it will help the rest of us to understand the challenges in their lives.
Wow, being in this position requires a lot of mental strength. I know how these conditions can be, it's draining to take care of them especially when they get worse with treatment. I hope to go into research in non-pharmaceutical interventions...
Thank you for leaving your story here, I hope my readers see it too.
That has to be the future. First we have to understand so much more about how the brain works.
You do important work, important for all of us.
Yeah...We need to make a better place for those coming after us
