Bipolar Disorder Category
Hi,
I am new here and noticed that while there is a "Depression" category
here, there is however no "Bipolar Disorder" category, which is often
a problem of manias, as myself who is bipolar 1 .
This is just an observation of mine but can be taken as advice if your goal
is to attract the mentally ill, then we bipolar' should be included lol.
Often bipolar consists of manic episodes, as in my case, though I have had
a 2 1/2 year depression once, and is worth considering as a category in itself.
Many of us bipolar 1 people go through terrible manic episodes, not just depressive
ones, and need to talk about it as well. So please consider adding a "Bipolar Disorder"
category in the future, thanks.

Re: Bipolar Disorder Category
Hello and thank you for posting and for your suggestion. In our general member forums we do have a mental health forum and within that a sub-forum on bipolar - viewforum.php?f=169
However, we will create a sub-category for bipolar on this clinic as it sounds like it is needed.

Re: Bipolar Disorder Category
I thought we were a bit 'lumped in' with the depression category too. Glad to hear you'll consider us as a seperate category.
To be fair, it isn't only BP 1 mania that's a problem. BP 2 hypomania can have pretty devastating consequences too.
