BIPOLAR HEALED!
I was diagnosed bipolar at age 19 and was in and out of pshyc wards up to 23, on more drugs than i can remember. I am now healthy, episode and drug free. There are keys to exiting the bipolar roller coaster.

I have started a blog dedicated to the healing of bipolar and other mental diagnosis.

Peace and Health,

This seemed to be an appropriate group to join. Here is some of my story.-Ron

AN ACCOUNT OF MY BIPOLAR DISORDER

A 66 YEAR CONTEXT: October 1943 To October 2009

BY

RON PRICE: George Town Tasmania Australia
(88 Pages: Font 14—33,000 words)

1. Preamble and Introduction:

1.1 This is a longitudinal, retrospective account going back to my conception in October 1943. I make reference to a genetic predisposition, a genetic susceptibility, to bipolar disorder(BPD) due to a family history of affective disorder in a first-degree relative, my mother(1904-1978). She had a mild case of what may very well have been BPD, at least I have come to think of her mood swings as falling into the BPD spectrum during her 75 year life. Her mood-swing disability was never given the formal medical diagnosis, BPD. About half of all patients with BPD have one parent who also has a mood disorder. There is, therefore, a clinical significance in my mother’s mood disorder in the explanation of the origins and diagnosis of my own BPD.

1.2 The high heritability of BPD has been well-documented through familial incidence, twin and adoption studies. There is an unquestionable justification for the inclusion of my family in the understanding of my BPD. No specific gene has yet been identified as the one bipolar gene. It appears likely that BPD is caused by the presence of multiple genes conferring susceptibility to BPD when combined with psychosocial stressors. I make this point as an opening remark and pass on to my story.

I hope you'll all stop by my page and see my blogs on family/friends, stigma, the mental health consumer movement and psychiatric rehabilitation. I'm writing about these topics from the perspective of experience in the publicly-funded mental health system and you might be surprised at all the directions, changes and development in that arena.
