\"bipolarity\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Thanks for the\u00a0image from MrsBipolarity.com!<\/p>\n

My friend Karen just read a memoir of a woman with bipolar disorder- and the author used the term ‘bipolarity’ throughout the book!<\/p>\n

Has anyone heard of this term? I have been writing bipolar management books for over ten years and bipolarity is new to me! I know that there are different names used for the illness:<\/p>\n

Manic depression (of course- this changed to bipolar disorder in the 90s)<\/p>\n

Bipolar affective disorder ( used a lot in England)<\/p>\n

Bipolar illness (my coauthor Dr. John Preston uses this term)<\/p>\n

A crappy illness (that is my own haha)<\/p>\n

What do you call bipolar disorder? Julie<\/p>\n

PS:<\/p>\n

A NOTE TO ALL! I just received this email from Ms. Bipolarity herself!<\/p>\n

Hi Julie, I love your blog (and love that you\u2019ve picked up on this term).\u00a0 Obviously, seeing as how I am Mrs Bipolarity, you must know I love the word.\u00a0 It\u2019s verbiage that just happened.\u00a0 It just \u201cfit\u201d and it is part of my vocabulary!\u00a0 I\u2019d request that you credit back to my blog though if you are going to use my banner! Thanks! \":)\"<\/p>\n

I am so glad Laura wrote. I am very careful about the images I use on my blogs. I missed this one- I should have researched it further and looked for a link! I have written Laura and asked her to be a guest blogger. If you know her- please say hi. I will keep you posted on the guest blog! And thanks to Laura for her patience.\u00a0 All of us in the bipolar community have to stick together.<\/p>\n

Please visit Laura’s\u00a0 MrsBipolarity.com<\/a> site and let her know you read about her on the bipolarhappens.com blog!<\/p>\n
