Uggh. And how much research is being done?! How much do our doctors-let alone the average person on the street-care about developing better treatments for bipolar disorder? Having low energy and motivation is largely what causes people to seek treatment! And as for the depression...for many of us, that is the worst phase of our illness. Effective treatment will not lead to more of it. Effective treatment would prevent it, and free us from the lingering effects of it.

We should start a fund raising organization-PCBP for the cure. It's not really life if you don't feel alive.
