Welcome to our blog. We -- the staff of the Family Center for Bipolar -- have stared this blog to help you understand and live with your bipolar illness or a related disorder, whether you have it or you think you may have it. This blog should also be helpful to those whose relatives or friends have a Bipolar Spectrum Disorder.
We would like this blog to be a dialogue between you and us. We want you to ask questions and we'll do our best to answer them!
Our first entry discussed the meaning of the term "Bipolar World." We decided to use the term because it encompasses the three main domains of bipolarity:
1) Your inner world of unpredictable moods that you may be living in.
2) Our outside world, increasingly stressful, polarized, and condusive to developing a bipolar illness in those genetically vulnerable to it.
3) The interaction of the inner and outer worlds, which is so often the key to healthy living.
We, the physicians, and other clinical staff members are here to help you negotiate the bipolar qualities of both your inner and outer world, as well as their interactions and manifestations in the healthiest possible way.
We would love to hear your questions, concerns, and comments.
Remember, out family is here to help you and your family.
Dr. G
