And tell us - what is "proper treatment?"

Progression of BP / Kindling Theory is still just a theory. Not everyone's symptoms get steadily worse over time and also there's the problem of brain atrophy said to be caused by AP's to take into consideration with these test subjects... is it the bipolar or is it the brain atrophy that's making these people feel worse?
And "Proper Treatment" refers to whatever healthy methods work for an individual, usually a combo of meds, therapy, healthy living and coping skills. As its best to tackle this beast from as many angles as possible.
I know Christina well enough to know that's what she meant.
