This is a really interesting topic, and I agree with you Nammu that it is truly mystifying that these pharma companies are targeting women. I wonder if women are being diagnosed more with BP than men these days. Certainly, big pharma has the wherewithal to study these things in great detail, so maybe, for some reason, it is the case.

This is a little off-topic, but I also wanted to point out how stereotypical the Vraylar rollercoaster ride commercial is: it seems to indicate that people with BP are constantly up/down/up/down, uber-rapidly, with nothing in between. I feel like this is the stereotype many people hold of people with BP, but it's just not the case.

I also don't like that, so far anyway, they have shown mania as only angry-mania (at the top of the rollercoaster) -and over-spending- and not the euphoria with other symptoms, that many of us experience.

But anyway, it is, as I say, the rollercoaster ride that really gets to me!
