I think knowledge and insight are very important to our managing our disorder.
They influence how we interact with our treatment team and how we remain aware of warning signs so we can get help early on.

There is, however, a risk of becoming so obsessed that we become immobilized by fear of the tiniest symptom, and avoid living life as well as we could. This is probably more relevant when we are not so ill.

It's a bit of a tricky one because I am only able to do any substantial research when I am comparatively well.
