Understanding the Spectrum of Bipolar Disorder
  We do a great disservice to people diagnosed with bipolar disorder by ignoring the condition’s types. Too often I see "bipolar disorder" used alone, yet the illness actually exists on a spectrum. For most of my teenage years, I struggled with sadness, lack of energy,...

Thriving with Bipolar Disorder
When I tell people I have bipolar disorder, I act all nonchalant about it. Some people are shocked, not because I am mentally ill, but because I don’t “show signs.”

What People Get Wrong About Bipolar Disorder
Bipolar disorder is a complicated mental illness. It has a variety of layers and symptoms, which can make it difficult to understand. However, this doesn’t mean that it — or the people who have it — should have to deal with unfair assumptions and misconceptions.    ...

Borderline Personality Disorder and Bipolar Disorder: What’s the Difference?
