I love that it took her saying that she could have this while being seen by some of the best doctors before they diagnosed it. Now, she seems amazingly competent and I am considering that I could have bipolar too. Like her, I have never had the highs but after reading your post, you sound like me too. I am: overly logical, love sociology and studying human interaction, and diametrically opposed to being anything but rational and realistic. However, I must admit that seeing my sister be able to function seemingly effortlessly makes me wonder if lithium would do the same thing to me. After all, it was only 40-50 years ago that the treatment was discovered for bipolar. Keep an open mind Mr. Murphy, though it would seem that you and I pride ourselves for doing just that, it may be more complicated than that. I really don't know but I intend to find out.
