The serious mental condition is triggered by chemical imbalances in the brain, which propels sufferers from manic highs to depressive lows.

Some insiders point the finger of blame squarely at a gastric bypass operation the 47-year-old poli­tician underwent in 2004 because it can restrict the intake of nutrients.

I suspect he’s dealing with a lot of stress resulting from an ongoing investigation of his operation.

I vote mid-life crisis.

It must really suck to reach your late forties and then realize that not only is you whole life a fraud but that your father is also a total scumbag.

Alcohol and drugs do NOT make a person bipolar. It can be a chemical imbalance to name one factor.

It’s probably from pot smoking which has been linked to bipolar/schizophrenia disorder.

"Alcohol and drugs do NOT make a person bipolar."

Harvard studies show long term pot use damages the same area of the brain as is damaged in bipolar disorder.

after five weeks of extensive evaluation, doctors diagnosed Jesse Jr. with ...
... some bogus disease that will cover for his drug/alcohol addiction.
This is like Kerry Kennedy's doctors all claiming they did "exhaustive" testing and found no drugs/alcohol in her system.
Somehow, someway, unexpectedly!, state testing found Ambien ... and I'll bet her lying doctors still have jobs.

Misdiagnosis. You have to have a brain for something to get out of balance in it....
