Being biPolar is not being "nuts" - that is an unfortunate reference based on ignorance. I have a son who is biPolar and there is nothing whatsoever funny about it. FWIW, I am the coordinator for the NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) Family-to-Family education program in my local community. If anyone here has a loved one diagnosed with a serious mental illness, I urge you to contact NAMI and learn about this program. F-2-F is a 12 week course designed to help family members of those with mental illness. It's a very worthwhile program. Sorry for the blatant plug.
