Hi Guys,

 

I found this while playing on the internet.

Thought some of you might be interested.

I love Vincent van Gogh's paintings and "Starry Night" is my favorite. Turn your speakers up and Click on:

Sukay,

Thanks for posting this, I liked how they included the BP section in the end. Of course you already know that Van Gogh is my fave artists, even though I don't see myself painting like him in a million years. So it was great to see a slide of all his works.

You know, I've heard that song a bunch of times but never really stopped to listen to it. It's very beautiful. Thanks for posting the link, Sukay.

I was surprised to learn of all the famous people who also have bi-polar like Jim Carey, Robin Williams, Ben Stiller, Tracy Ullman, etc.

Sukay,

That is the SHORT list of a few quickie names. If you REALLY saw the list it would be even longer. For example...Maurice Bernard from General Hospital, was very brave to step forward and was REALLY the one who got the ball moving for getting actors to step forward and start talking about it. The list is VERY long indeed. And MANY famous people in history were too (far more than what was shown), as the YouTube piece showed. I really think that BP has reached its time in history to start unraveling the mystery about it and science will start creating tests in time to test brain chemistry levels - they will be able to break the chemicals down, with optimum levels for men and women based on hight and weight...etc...and then be able to determine what is to high/to low...etc of each chemical involved and they will have exact replacements (like they do thyroid or insulin for diabetes which you can test) and people will simply be able to know the exact dose of the proper meds, it won't be so much of this working in the dark with trial and error.

At least I pray they do! The should be able to do this. If science can isolate genes, this should be a piece of cake already!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hugs to you...LFW

LFW that would awesome if science can do that. I'm sure that will happen one day and what a WONDERFUL day that will be!

I certainly hope that more and more help to get the word out about Bipolar Disorder. I know I do not keep it in the closet for myself. I usually want to give an explanation as to why I can't focus or talk funny or get easily confused/irritable. I look forward to the day where the medications can be easily adjusted like they do thyroid or insulin for diabetes as you said! That is something we can all hope for.

Thanks for bringing that up. smurf
