And less than 2/3 of US adults can correctly define Bipolar and what it looks like. So now you have been diagnosed with this scary, practically unidentifiable, lifelong disease that people know very little about. You know it's genetic, so someone in your immediate or extended family has probably had this same problem right? But now, as you were sitting there, listening to your doctor deliver the news you realized 2 things. 1) Suddenly life makes a little more sense. Suddenly the unforgettable highs and unexplainable lows have some sort of reason behind them other than "that was just how you were that day". 2) Sure, you've heard the term thrown around and you know there are pills involved, but that's it.
