Famous people with bipolar disorderFamous people with bipolar disorder include some of the world’s foremost musicians, actors, writers, composers and scientists.
Bipolar disorder is in the news constantly right now. This has done a lot of good in terms of raising awareness and shattering some of the myths about bipolar. However, unfortunately some of the coverage is still uninformed or unbalanced in its negativity. The bipolar celebrity angle gets a lot of attention, but so much valuable information about how successful people have triumphed over bipolar never makes it into the popular media. Some examples of positive role models include: 1. Ada Byron - the world's first computer programmer back in the 1840s.
4. Congressman Patrick Kennedy 6. Kay Redfield Jamison. Interested in more information about famous bipolar people? Check out Bipolar-Lives' pages on Winston Churchill and Manic Depression, our Bipolar Autobiography page, Kurt Cobain and Manic Depression, and of course Famous Bipolar People.
