Diagnosed?
In a society where individuals who aspire to anything handed down to them by the media. Its certainly no wonder why we don't recognize some of the severe underlining problems that are all around us.
Americans have turned into a large self centered community. Driven by images, and sounds handed down to us by unconcerned power vendors.(executives, producers, and so on) What does this have to to do with bipolar? Well I'll tell you what.
Its my observation that bipolar begins early early on, and just about every manic I've ever known over the years has had a number of similarities in their history.
No. 1 There's always (or more times then not), an abundantcy of family disfuntion. Which leads me to belief whenever chemical reactions occur in the brain, on account of this stress. The patterns probably start manifesting at a very young age.
No. 2 It seems none of us care in the least bit to recognize this problem in ourselves. Which stands to reason when you have lived with something all your life. Who knows the difference. Until at some point friends, strangers, police, doctors, society in general starts to try and tap you on the shoulder. If that doesn't work. A large, and repeating series of blows sometimes wakes us up.(but don't count on it)
No. 3 What family wants to own up to its contributions to whatever problem they have helped possibly contribute to. (I don't believe that's always the case). But even if the individual comes from the most loving of families. Most times family members manage to take everything personal anyway.
So far we have a narcissistic society built up on making money at any expense. Including leading its people straight to hell. In short. Generating sounds, and images, based on violence, sex, and all the Endorphin enhancements that money can buy. Coupled with families individually striving for their own piece of the perception which they purchased at their neighborhood video store.
What does this have to do with bipolar? Again, this is what... "the chemicals, and our bodys respond to the stimulus all around us every day". You don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure out some people are responding well to the modern-day stimulus, wile some people are not. By time we grow into men and women, our brain cells have minds of their own. Probably because (in our case, manics) the host cells can no longer be hospitable... Its on autopilot and defence mode. Chemical warfare has been declared!
I believe it is as much a social problem as it is a physical one. It is just my view, however the view does come from inside a manic head, and one thing manics have is, firsthand experience.
And make no mistake,you'd have to travel a long way to find a stupid Bipolar! A long way...

Doctors...
This is a subject that anyone who is manic depressive, and possesses any sense at all, should know better than give out advice about... medication... as far as Im concern doctors in this country hardly have what you might call "a handle on the situation". But I do like to think they are doing all that they can.
In general I feel, medications in some cases are a matter of life or death. In other cases a matter of quality of life, and still in other cases, other factors come into play. Diet, exercise, stress factors, employment, the list goes on, but ask any manic, still full of piss end vinegar, and he'll tell you he's better off without his MEDS... GET REAL, not only is this individual probably completely wrong, but if you look into his personal life, you'll probably find many more people needing medication just from putting up with the abuse that this particular manic might be dispensing.
In short. Get a doctors opinion. If you're not comfortable with the diagnosis. Get another doctors opinion. By all means, staying with your pharmaceutical regiment may save your life. At the very least it may enhance the one you have. It will surely enhance your family, and friends lives. Beleave me!!! I'm not saying medacation is the only route for every one. For some it is the only thing that will save you. For others. You better be ready to change everything in your life. One thing for "sure you cant do it alone".
