Winston Churchill and manic depression
If you are looking for an inspirational story that deals with the effects of bipolar depression and manic behavior than you might want to take a closer look at the great British statesman and WWII hero Winston Churchill, who suffered from this condition for most of his life. While he had the unique experience of being able to use his manic behavior to lead a nation and help the allies win the war, it should be noted that these same character traits also caused him trouble and concern throughout his life, so much so that a mental health clinic in London is currently defending its life size statue of the great man tenderly wrapped in a straight jacket. This article will help you begin to understand many of your emotions and behaviors, and unlike Winston Churchill who lived during the early beginnings of mental health treatments you won't need to find ways to channel your manic energy instead of getting the help that you need.
