Bipolar Disorders

Abnormal Psychology---Barlow D. & Durand V.

"The key identifying feature of bipolar disorders is the tendency of manic episodes to alternate with major depressive episodes in an unending roller-coaster ride from peaks of elation to the depths of despair."

"Suicide is an all-too-common consequence of bipolar disorder, almost always occurring during depressive episodes...Estimates of suicide attempts in bipolar disorder range from an average of 17% for bipolar disorder I to 24% for bipolar disorder II... Even with treatment, patients with bipolar disorder tend to do poorly..."

What can you honestly do but look to God?
