Here is a link to a story I read in Newsweek. It is about a boy, who suffers from Bi-polar disorder. The 10 years of his life have been hell, and he has truly suffered from this disease.

Trina,
Thank you for sharing the Newsweek article. I have always felt like mental illness is such a cruel disease because it takes control of a persons mind. My mother was bi-polar and when her meds were working well for her she was the kindest, giving and most loving person I've ever known, but when she stopped her meds or they got off balance for her the disease took over and she was out of control, mean spirited, vulgar and the exact opposite of her true personality.
I didn't realize until recently that children at very young ages were being diagnosed with bipolar disorder. My 4 year old nephew was recently diagnosed with it. It has been a difficult situation for my niece but fortunately she has found excellent doctors to work with him and he is actually doing so much better now that they have gotten his meds figured out.
