Bipolar Disorder Bipolar Disorder Symptoms/Diagnosis Treatment Coping/Support From Marcia Purse, your Guide to Bipolar Disorder Many of you contacted me after last week's newsletter thinking that the discontinuation of blogs meant the discontinuation of About Bipolar Disorder. My apologies for not being as clear as I could have been! It looks like some readers of this newsletter believed that my blogs made up the whole site. Nothing could be further from the truth. If you visit my home page you'll always see the freshest content, and if you explore the tabs across the top - Symptoms and Diagnosis, Treatment, and Coping and Support - you'll find tons of information on all aspects of this illness. And in this newsletter I'm featuring some content you may not know is there, along with material folks have found especially useful down through the 16 years I've been working at About Bipolar Disorder. My Bipolar Journal I was diagnosed in April 1999, and wrote an article that day expressing my shock. From then until late in 2008 I kept my readers up to date on my progress through moods, meds and significant life changes. (At that time, policy changes at About.com required me to stop keeping the online journal.) Journey with me through nine years of struggle, successes and learning. Bipolar for Beginners Straightforward, easy to understand information about bipolar disorder for beginners who have just been diagnosed, people who have learned that a friend or loved one has bipolar, or anyone wanting to learn more about the illness many still call manic depression.
