I hear too often, so and so is bi-polar? What exactly is bi-polar. It seems it's too easily labelled and diagnosed as ADD and ADHD. What exactly is it? and how is it treated?

Sailor John's link is most important, but if you would like an inside look, in mental health....visit BP town (from the beginning preferrably) and for the best first person account.....there is Shutterbug's journal.

Also, see the link in the stickies above from the NY Times. It's filled with information. Shutterbug loved it.
And here's another:
Bipolar II, Mood Swings without Mania; Brain Tours; Stress and Depression; Hormones and Mood; and more...

Shalom!
