From Marcia Purse, your Guide to Bipolar Disorder
I had to laugh when I read the title of the first discussion I listed at right under "What We're Talking About." It seems like two-thirds of the people I meet either have bipolar disorder or have a family member who does. But in fact, the writer of that discussion - and the other two as well - could use some advice. Can you help?

Your Experiences and Opinions Wanted!
Most of you know a lot about living with bipolar disorder, your own or someone else's. About Bipolar Disorder readers have stories to tell. Maybe you want to read them. Maybe you want to write yours. So I've thrown out some topic ideas. Check off the ones you'd like to read or write about, and add your topic ideas in comments.

Bipolar I Affects Men's Memory More Than Women's
Ladies, don't think your bipolar I guy isn't listening when he can't remember what you just said. There might be another reason altogether.

What Is Wrong With Me?
A blog I posted more than three years ago with a poem called "What Is Wrong With Me?" has generated more comments than any other blog before or since - and they are still coming in. The gut-wrenching thing about this, to me, is that so many of these people don't seem to have considered looking for help. Do you wonder the same thing? Read about self-diagnosis on the internet, and share your thoughts.

What Are Tricyclic Antidepressants?
These older antidepressants still get a lot of use in treating bipolar disorder and clinical depression. They're notorious for causing weight gain, though. Here's what you need to know about the tricyclics.
