I have been diagnosed with Manic
Depressive/ BiPolar. I have never taken it
seriously before. I would quit taking my
medicine and a few years later I ended up
back in the hospital a couple of more
times. This time last month I ended up
back in the hospital with major
depression. This time I am taking this
real seriously. It is a real disease. I
have been diagnosed with BiPolar 1.

Welcome to the forum!
Bipolar IS a disease and should be taken
very serious. With the right meds and
maybe counselling, you can lead a pretty
normal life. The key is to continue taking
your meds. You almost have to view it like
you would if you were diagnosed with
diabetes.
Good luck!
