~ Bipolar Disorder ~ Bipolar Disorder affects
1 to 2 ˝ percent of the population, even the famous. Stigma however, remain strong in the hearts and minds of the public - even in those of our own loved ones / family! Although the illness of
manic depression reaches even the rich and famous, the movie stars, great singers, television personalities and artists - - much of the public still think mentally ill people are in 'categories' such as
homeless,
violent, like the people portrayed in movies such as "One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest"
and, people who are basically weak, won't "pick themselves up by the boot straps" ...and the list goes on... much clouded with misconceptions/myth.
Those who suffer from bipolar disorder, a non-curable disorder,
can feel lonely, judged, and different and feel as if there is no hope for them or their lives. Below are only a few names of
famous 'known publicly' people that have had or have manic depressive disorder. Through
determination, self-confidence, esteem and pride, many people have achieved great things in their lives, reached their
dreams, become well known, lived happier more productive lives... Just as we all can,
you can...
It is our hope that by providing some familiar names, faces... that those who suffer from this illness can feel a bit more "normal" a little more motivated for and in their futures and feel a bit more like life IS WORTH IT, is okay and can be lived to the fullest...
There is hope... you are not damaged goods… you are not alone...
