mental bipolar

Those who are diagnosed with bipolar: Do you really believe it is a mental disease?
Bipolar – Mental disordor or Broken Spirit deep within cause from fear or from being tromatized at any event? curious to know of peoples opinions.
I believe Bipolar (Manic Depressive) disorder is real for I have it. I spent several year being treated for my depression with no success. It wasn’t until I went into the hospital this past year that I finally got the proper treatment for my disorder & I am now very close to feeling back to myself. They’re still working with my doses of my meds. I believe (not an expert) that the disorder lies within you & tramautic events like ignites it. I have been thru sexual abuse, rape, & some other things. Funny that you say broken spirit, though, ’cause that’s how I felt for so long. I want to add that even though I have it & I really do feel I do because I have studied so much about it, I do feel a lot of people get misdiagnosed. I just posted on my 360 about my personal Bipolar if interested the link is below.
