On various forums, you offer good advice and some thoughtful insights, but your statement about the person with bipolar disorder only having an average of six (6) episodes over their lifetime sounds crazy. Where did you read this fiction? I'm not dead yet, and I've lost count of all my manic and manic-psychotic episodes.
