Articles on bipolar disorder
Articles on bipolar disorder are easy to find on the Internet.
But how accurate, reliable, and up-to-date are they?
If the disorder has become bizarrely fashionable, then the truth about bipolar - especially online - is a fashion victim!
Faddish, self-obsessed, anxious, and either ego-driven or commercially driven, the deluge of celebrity coming outs and revealations combines with an onslaught of big pharma advertising, and the snake oil of self-styled experts.
On the other hand, there has never been a time when so much high quality information is accessible to mental health consumers and their supporters.
Practice a little discernment in your online reading and you may soon know more than your doctor.
One of the things you will discover from the genuine clinical research is that education is one of the most valuable components in treating bipolar disorder. So explore, learn, investigate, dig!
Just remember to consider the source of the information. Here are the places I have found to provide consistently accurate, recent, useful information, with a healthy balance of the purely factual and that which is just a tad provocative:
Recommended article sources
This is a short but excellent list.
You can branch out later, but if you start off going for quality over quantity, you will build a sound foundation of knowledge that will make it easy to recognize good information when you go exploring on your own.

bipolar disorder and creativity

Have You Written an Article on Bipolar Disorder?
Share your own great article about some aspect of BP! (But promise me you wrote it yourself - we don't want to both end up with a lawsuit.)
PLEASE NOTE: This is NOT the place for personal stories (although that is coming soon).
An "article" is a short piece of non-fiction that shares FACTS, RESEARCH, or other USEFUL INFORMATION about some specific aspect of bipolar disorder.
Please do NOT add spam or advertising of any kind - it will not be published.
