She just turned 30 this year, so yeah, she is a kid. Do not know how much she knows or understands my illness. If I told her in terms she could understand it would probably go something like this "you are smart and have accomplished things others dream about. Now lets say over a period of time, you start having mood swings that get so bad over time. You start loosing cases , your boss loses faith in you and you never get to haggle with the Supreme Court Justices again. If you don't diagnosed in time you will probably act out while manic. Depending on the extreme nature of the mania/depression and may even get disbarred which will trash your career, leaving you not only with saddness that your career is gone, but now you have to do the trial and error on the meds, and also learn how best to deal with this illness". Yup, that about sums it up.
