> Anyone see the program on bipolar on Oprah today? There was an Irish singer who'd shaved her head and seems like she might have some kind of weird side effect from her drugs, she kept scratching and picking, (maybe she was just nervous) but who claimed that her meds made her feel better within the first half hour of taking them!!! Didn't really understand why they'd even diagnosed her as bipolar since all her symptoms were depression. The other guest was a man with an overbearing mother who'd been trying different meds for 8 years without success. The bipolar expert assured him they would find the right one. After 8 years? This is Oprah's 2nd program in 2 weeks on bipolar, wonder why it's so popular all of a sudden. Personally, I'm expecting the drug companies are planning a big surge in advertising for bipolar drugs.... Cecilia
What lead you to think she was an overbearing mother? I applaud her for reaching out for help for her son! I would of done the same thing! God bless her!! Are you a mother? This family has suffered way too long!!
Oprah had so many overwhelming responses from viewers from the first show on bipolar, that she felt the need from the public outcry to air another on the same topic. I don't think the drug companies would have any influence over Oprah of all people!!
God bless Oprah too!!
