Hello Everyone, I just found a very interesting article from John Hopkins Medicine about bipolar disorder and the wiring in the brain.
"A genetic variation linked to schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and severe depression wreaks havoc on connections among neurons in the developing brain, a team of researchers reports. The study used stem cells generated from people with and without mental illness to observe the effects of a rare and pernicious genetic variation on young brain cells. The results add to evidence that several major mental illnesses have common roots in faulty 'wiring' during early brain development."

Follow the above link for the entire article. Apparently those of us with bipolar were wired differently than our healthy counterparts and this study proves it.
I wonder, my father has MS, a disease where the mylen sheath around nerves deteriorates and signals get crossed, could my brain be misfiring due to MS or just bipolar? Things to contemplate....
