You're right, BlueInanna, about the percentage of bipolar folks who get helpf for their
condition. I read somewhere recently that about only 7% worldwide of people who are bipolar ever get help for their illness.

Rather staggering, isn't it? I doubt that many have any idea that anything could be wrong, especially if they were reared in a family in which the illness was inherited.

Those who get help learn a good bit about the mind and emotions and sooner or later learn to separate the emotions from the thinking--I never could do that and have always wondered why it was important to do so, except that it keeps the lid on the boiling water, I guess.

Have a great July 4th, those who are in the U.S. If you're in another country, have a good day on the 4th, as well!
