Bipolar Disorder Support Group
Bipolar disorder is not just a single disorder, but a category of mood disorders marked by periods of abnormally high energy and euphoria, often accompanied by bouts of clinical depression.

I will be checking in on this thread when I return..I don't want more trouble here on what is after all a board for people suffering with bipolar.
It would probably be more appropriate in future to post on the Family & Friends of Bipolar than here. https://www.dailystrength.org/group/family-friends-of-bipolar
