Quoting earthangel1967:
I am diagnosed bipolar, so is my husband, my mom, 3 of my 5 kids (1 of them has paranoid schizophrenia w/ hallucinations since age 2) BUT although it was a long very difficult scary and heartbreaking road we all got balanced and healthy on the right medications and mood stabilizers for each of us individually and when hubby and I are on our meds which we will be the rest of our lives gratefully.... no one would ever guess we are bipolar, we are very very balanced and feel healthy and in control also we dont have side effects and do NOT feel drugged.
The only people who can tell I am are those who live with me. I am a rapid cycler and tend to move from depressive to manic really quickly and it's an obvious change. I go from being really lethargic to talking a mile a minute and cleaning everything.
