Bipolar disorder. Is it an illness? Disease? Or what?

Folks who know themselves make the best survivors. If you find that you don't get along with someone, with 8 billion people on earth, there are that many more chances to find people you do get along with. And the journey finding them is half the fun.

It is a disorder I have concluded as, yes Mike, it is genetic. Environmental issues can certainly set our episodes offf but we are definately born with the abnormal brain function caused by a chemical imbalance.
