I have often believed some of the most talented, creative people in history have been bipolar, whether or not diagnosed as such. My husband runs a multi million dollar company and provides many, many people with a great quality of life because of what he does every day. All that and bipolar too!

When I hear a negative comment about any mental illness I always ask the person if they would make that same comment about Parkinson's or Lou Gehrig disease...they usually "get it".
