Thanks for the synopsis of bipolar disorder. It explained something that had me puzzled. I worked with a woman who would become manic for weeks on end, then end up institutionalized for 6 months after she had spiraled into depression. She was a Type I.
Interestingly, the guy who I have been trying to get to do home repairs and remodeling has the characteristics of someone who is type I. His "ex-wife" told me that his mother was bipolar, and when he did repairs for me one time, he was as pumped up and energetic at 6:00 p.m. as he was when he arrived at 9:00 a.m., playing heavy metal all day. He is very talented. I've been waiting for a month for him to get back to me about another job. So I'm pretty sure I've been around people who have both types.
Now this is interesting. Read today that British researchers have identified an enzyme that may cause bipolar people to commit suicide.
Bipolar disorder might be an explanation for our Lentinman's two failed marriages. I often thought he had to be single because no wife would put up with someone who stayed up half of the night on the internet.
Regardless, it won't bring him back, and, with or without his website, he's someone I'll always remember with fondness.
