Newbie Alert!

I just stumbled across this site yesterday whilst looking for information about some medication I was put on for BPII. It looks like a place where I may be able to learn more about BPII and hopefully contribute to at some point as well.

I was just diagnosed in October of 2007 so I have a lot to learn. It floored me at first but looking back over my life it has put much of it into perspective. Unfortunately I can see it's going to take some time to find the right med(s). The side affects... I do wish there was one magic pill that worked for all of us.

So here is a question for you all. I'm told that BPII is prevalent in the "artist" community for unknown reasons. That's certainly true in my case but I'm curious how many of you consider yourselves artistic?

Thanks for reading. I can't believe I even made a post like this on the internet! Maybe it will be good for me. I am still in a bit of denial about all of this.

I don't know the answer to your question and "artists" of course is a term used to describe a wide variety of endeavors. I'm a musician. I can only tell you that 2 separate pdocs have told me the same thing. And they don't know exactly why either. I believe it's just theory based on loosely coupled data at this time. They always have a list of names they rattle off usually starting with Robin Williams. Do a google search or two and I'm pretty sure you'll find some better information on it.

Hope you're doing well,
