Perhaps the most common reaction people have to mental illness
in general, or to depression - bipolar disorder in particular,
is to ask "Why in the world would anyone want to discuss
such an unpleasant subject?"
The topic of mental illness still carries a stigma with it.
How do you feel about that? If you shared the news of your
depression or bipolar disorder, how did you do it and what was
the reaction of those you told?
This would also be a good forum to discuss how a struggle
with major depression can lead, seemingly paradoxically, to
significant spiritual
growth by the victim of the illness. Have you experienced
any emotional or spiritual growth from your experiences with
depression or bipolar disorder.
Also remember, any comments here are not to be taken as
medical advice. For diagnosis and treatment of any
psychological or medical condition, you should consult your
doctor.
When you're done, take a look at what what
others are saying.
