Thats some of the problem. Bipolar disorder is kind of like someone who's tried crack. For them, everday life just seems like something is missing.
Sure, the Handel's and the Beethoveen's all seem great to us, but what about the quality of their lives. Being sucessful, rich, famous, envied, etc etc is no match to feeling normal. And for every manic high, there was an equal but oppisite devastating low.
Mood stabalizers make you even-steven, it is difficult at times to raise that bar a notch, and yet not go off the deep end.
