Hello,

Here is my favorite site about bipolar
http://www.psycheducation.org/index.html

It has scientific articles along with articles that are not scientific.

I'm sorry to sound dumb, but I am not sure what you are worried about. Are you saying that you are finding that bipolar can be worse than you thought?


Bipolar is the most treatable mental health condition.
I feel lucky that I have had good drs and good treatments these past 20 years.
(The hardest part about bipolar is getting the right diagnosis. Some people are sick for 10 years before they get a diagnosis.)

Regarding ECT:
It works sometimes.
It's long term side effects can be headaches and memory loss and a few other things.

Regarding loud talking:
Loud talking could be caused by lots of things.
I have never heard that it is a bipolar thing.

Do you talk loud when you are upset or worried or do you talk loud all the time?

We can get through bipolar.
It takes work.
