I think the general population is about 1-2% bipolar, it seems to be more in the BL forums. You'll want to be aware of the National Depressive/Manic-Depressive Association and any newsgroup with the words "depression" and "manic" or "bipolar" in the name (check your news-server or Deja.com (formerly DejaNews). I was dx'd bipolar almost six months ago but am still trying to find medications that work. Good luck. -David ("d") PS: Thank Heather for pointing out your post, I would have missed it otherwise. |
