Our greatest strength is the peer to peer support we offer one another, but we are not licensed mental health professionals.

my story of manic-depression diary of a manic-depressive teenage grrrl September, 1990... I am nine years old and I have just begun 5th grade. I am experiencing these terrible stomach pains that don't seem to have a cause. I describe them as being like "having rocks in my stomach". My mother takes me to two doctors and finally a psychiatrist, who diagnoses me as being "stressed". In November, the pains mysteriously disappear. circa February - May, 1993... I am twelve years old and in 7th grade. I am feeling generally down for no apparent reason. Also, I am "twinking" - blanking out of situations, after which time I find myself standing in a place that I do not remember walking to. I fantasize about changing schools, thinking that maybe my school and peer group are the cause of my sadness. January 4th, 1994... I am thirteen years old and in 8th grade. My brother leaves after a Christmas visit for Toronto with his wife. I experience feelings of sadness from this that don't seem to lift, lasting much longer than would be expected. May 1st, 1994...

Bipolar Affective Disorder (Manic Depressive disorder) in Children and Adolescents by James Chandler, MD, FRCPC Bipolar Affective Disorder (Manic Depressive disorder) in Children and Adolescents What is Bipolar Illness? Mania Hypomania ... In summary, What is Bipolar Illness? Table Of Contents The bipolar disorders are mood disorders. That means that amongst other things, there is a major change in mood. In bipolar disorders, this change in mood can be down, as in depression, or the opposite, mania. That is, a person can be inappropriately up. Some types of bipolar disorder have a lot of depression and only a little mania. Others have half and half. Still others seem to be both manic and depressed at the same time. Some people with bipolar disorders only have a few cycles of depression and mania. Others have many cycles a year. When bipolar illness is present in children and adolescents, it is more severe and harder to treat than when it occurs in adults. Pediatric Bipolar illness is one of the most severe conditions in pediatrics. In the milder forms, it can be disabling. In the severe forms, it can be lethal. The prognosis for cancers in pediatrics is better than many forms of bipolar illness. All bipolar disorders are a combination of mania with or without depression. So what is mania?

131. Biological Theories Of Manic-Depression (1987) announced they had found a genetic link between manicdepression and a In 1993, Bredbecka et al. announced that the gene for manic-depression is http://serendip.brynmawr.edu/bb/neuro/neuro99/web1/Bromwell.html

Biology 202 1999 First Web Reports On Serendip Biological Theories of Manic-Depression Melissa A. Bromwell Much of the existing body of knowledge concerning the causes of manic-depression points to genetics. Many scientists have isolated single genes to which they believe manic-depression can be attributed; however, very few agree on which gene it is. Egeland (1987) announced that she and her colleagues had found a gene that provided a strong diathesis toward manic-depression on chromosome 11. Two different groups of researchers (Detera-Wadleigh et al., 1987 and Hodgkinson et al., 1987) found no connection between the same gene and manic-depression, which led to the theory that more than one gene may be responsible for the disorder. At the same time, Baron et al. (1987) announced they had found a genetic link between manic-depression and a different gene. Both Baron and Egeland later stated that their findings may be inconclusive ( ); this might explain the different manifestations of manic-depression. Recently, Stine reported that there are “three or four locations that look about equally promising for finding manic-depression genes,” one of them chromosome 18. His research also seems to support Gershon’s; Stine believes that a predisposition from chromosome 18 is present only if inherited from the father ( Another common theory of the etiology of manic-depression is neurochemical malfunctions in the brain. If indeed manic-depression has its origins in biology, something yet to be proven, and given the theories that suggest neurotransmitter dysfunctions in depression, perhaps the best solution to finding the cause of manic-depression would be to investigate a chemical basis of the disorder. It seems as if the best areas in which to start would be the same neurotransmitters that have thus far been implicated in depression and the areas affected by medications which alleviate symptoms of manic-depression.

Evening Out the Ups and Downs Of Manic-Depressive Illness by Ricki Lewis, Ph.D. German composer Robert Schumann led a life of extreme ups and downs. In 1833, at the age of 23, he attempted suicide; in 1840, he experienced a period of inexplicable, great elation. Then in 1844 he fell into another deep depression, with another "up," or "manic," period five years later. In 1853, his mental illness forced him to resign as musical director of the Dusseldorf Symphony Orchestra, and a year later, he tried to kill himself by jumping into the Rhine River. He was rescued and placed in an asylum, where he died two years later of self-imposed starvation. Some of Schumann's musical compositions noticeably reflect his dramatic mood swings. One account of the composition "Carnaval" describes the part called Florestan as the product of an "emotional, impulsive, stormy extrovert," yet attributes another portion, called Eusebius, to a "quiet introspective dreamer." Robert Schumann suffered from manic-depressive illness, also known as bipolar disorder. This condition affects 1 percent of the U.S. population at some time in their lives. Periods of expansive, hyperactive thinking and behavior with elevated mood occur in sharp contrast to periods of extreme despair and sadness. Either phase can greatly disrupt a person's life.

Manic-depressive illness affects slightly less than 2% of the U.S. population to some degree. The disorder is believed to be hereditary, although the exact genetic defect is still unknown. Manic-depressive illness affects men and women equally. However, women are more likely to have symptoms of depression, whereas men are more likely to have symptoms of mania. Manic-depressive illness is more common among people in upper socioeconomic classes and usually begins in a person's teens, 20s, or 30s.

Manic-Depressive Illness and Creativity by Kay Redfield Jamison, published in Scientific American , February, 1995, Vol. 272 Resources BUCHWALD/STYRON INTERVIEW BIOGRAPHIES STYRON'S DARKNESS VISIBLE ... MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCES Scores of influential 18th- and 19th-century poets, notably William Blake, Lord Byron and Alfred, Lord Tennyson, wrote about the extreme mood swings they endured. Modern American poets John Berryman, Randall Jarrell, Robert Lowell, Sylvia Plath, Theodore Roethke, Delmore Schwartz and Anne Sexton were all hospitalized for either mania or depression during their lives. And many painters and composers, among them Vincent van Gogh, Georgia O'Keeffe, Charles Mingus and Robert Schumann, have been similarly afflicted. Biographical studies of earlier generations of artists and writers also show consistently high rates of suicide, depression and manic-depressionup to 18 times the rate of suicide seen in the general population, eight to 10 times that of depression and 10 to 20 times that of manic-depressive illness and its milder variants. Joseph J. Schildkraut and his co-workers at Harvard concluded that approximately half of the 15 20th-century abstract-expressionist artists they studied suffered from depressive or manic-depressive illness; the suicide rate in this group was at least 13 times the current U.S. national rate. In 1992 Arnold M. Ludwig's survey of 1,005 famous 20th-century artists and writers, he discovered that they experienced two to three times the rate of psychosis, suicide attempts, mood disorders and substance abuse than did comparably successful people in business, science and public life. The poets in this sample had most often been manic or psychotic and hospitalized; they also proved to be some 18 times more likely to commit suicide than is the general public.

138. Studies In Sabbatian Kabbalah: On "Manic-Depression" Time and again, the issue of Sabbatai Zevi s alleged manicdepression is Even the arguement that manic-depression is caused by an imbalance in brain http://www.kheper.net/topics/Kabbalah/manic-depression.htm

Studies in Sabbatian Kabbalah: On "Manic-Depression" Yakov Leib haKohain Time and again, the issue of Sabbatai Zevi's alleged "manic-depression" is raised by his modern critics and anyone else looking for a way to dismiss or minimize him. In what follows, I propose to discuss this problem. But first, by way of background, I think it appropriate to describe my credentials for doing so. To begin with, I took my doctorate in Jungian Psychology and Comparative Religion under my mentor, James Kirsch, M.D. at the time, the last surviving member of C.G. Jung's original inner circle and a founder, by Jung's personal mandate, of the first Jungian Center (Los Angeles) in the United States, where I did post-doctoral work for three years. I've also published several papers on religion and psychology, particularly Kabbalah, in several journals and anthologies. For example, my paper "For The Sake of God: An Answer to Jung" was published in the Library Journal of the C.G. Jung Institute of San Francisco; and I contributed the chapter, "Kabbalah and the (Jungian) Interpretation of Dreams" in the Jungian anthology, MODERN JEW IN SEARCH OF A SOUL, published by Falcon Press and still available, I believe, through Amazon.com. Having laid bare my "credentials," so to speak, in my characteristically immodest and self-serving manner, I'd like to discuss briefly the question of Sabbatai Zevi's so-called "mannic-depression." Ever since Gershom Scholem borrowed this phrase from modern clinical psychiatry it has been used repeatedly by scholars and historians to describe the cause of Sabbatai's "strange actions," as they were called at the time his swings between religious exaltation and inert despair and the
