Thought I would repost the whole post made recently by our friends at Living with Bipolar Disorder. :) If people actually read this, they would not think this disorder is something one can get rid of/over. It is incurable and it takes many factors to control it. Nor would they think it is a weakness, a character flaw or anything to be ashamed of. The biggest struggle is battling the stigma attached to it. Shared from: Bipolar disorder is a condition where a person encounters varying periods of depression and mania. While research is still inconclusive to the cause of these swings, some research points that the altered production of key neurotransmitters—chemicals that allow the brain to communicate—affects mood. There are two key areas of the brain affected by neurotransmitters: the cerebrum and the cerebellum. The cerebrum is the largest part of the brain that affects conscious thought, reasoning, and more, while the cerebellum is believed to regulate fear and pleasure responses. Shared from:
