If I was there to ask questions, she'd have some unexpected ones to answer. Not Intro to Bipolar Disorder 101 stuff.

I, too, wonder about Kay R.J. Having BD and taking only lithium was a standard treatment (as I recall) back in the '70's. I was given that treatment for a while when I was an older teen. But lithium by itself is not really stabilizing. I've wondered about KRJ in many ways. Some of her story doesn't seem entirely believable...I've wondered about her diagnosis, how "bipolar" she really is.
