> I have read that book. I have feared that diagnosis for myself and for others in my family. So far, I think I am not on the bipolar spectrum. Think is the operative word. Most of my docs have not thought I was bipolar. One or two did question. I have a couple of family members who will never go to the doctor who I really question!
