> thanks again, JaniceJanice - The late acknowledgement of your bipolar disorder would have no impact on the effects of the disorder. Bipolar illness is perhaps one of the most biological of the psychiatric disorders (probably to do with a breakdown of the phosphatidylinositol cycle). I really believe that the first break of the illness is probably "programmed" into your genes and that a stressor just helps manifest that first episode. Admitting that you had the disease earlier in the course would have given you treatment sooner and prevented some kindling, but I do not think it would have impacted that much, that natural therapies (or any therapies) would have been that much more effective. Just my opinion. - Sincerely Cam W.
