Wow amazing. I wish we were already here a long time ago maybe my brother still would be. Imagine how much more can be discovered and will save so many people.

I’m happy that someone is finally working on research to help us BiPolar patients. This is promising news.

This would be nice because it will help halt misdiagnosis and confirm that depression is real.

Allowing us to tell how we really feel without the fear of immediate hospitalization. 22 years now I've been diagnosed bipolar depressive. But every time I see counseling and try to tell the truth of how I feel right here right now (which is too often everything that I have accomplished is in the past and although I've been blessed with two wonderful children and now too amazing grandchildren there's weeks that I drive past a fresh grave and I'm jealous because they must be in peace) So these experts immediately want to hospitalize me. If any of us has been hospitalized you know what I'm saying it does not help. But they'd rather wash their hands of the liability of us. So we can never speak the truth so can we ever get real help??

You need to accept that sometime you have to go. It sucks but it's the truth. Suffering is a hallmark of mental illness and you don't want to off yourself so you have to go get re-medicated in a hospital. They take away caffeine, cigarettes, cell phones and limit your choices of what to eat and especially what you can do all day. I know it's the most boring place on earth and it's not pleasant at all. You feel less than as a person inside the mental hospital and you never know when you can go home. Its a reality that you have to accept to tell the truth.

Please find medication that works. Suffering too long.
