I did not know that a manic episode permanently damages the frontal lobe, that's concerning. As for BP getting worse with age, I'm still a younging, but I see the difference. I believe I have had Bipolar disorder since I was a teenager. I think I was a lot more functional then. Then I was more manic than depressed, which caused some trouble moodswing wise, but I was still able to be super productive. I noticed after college, this disorder got harder to deal with day to day. The depression part is really what gets me at times (pessimistic, no motivation, lack of concentration, etc). I hate it! Especially the no motivation part. I feel lazy when I get caught up in that if I'm making sense. I'd so rather be the good manic over depression any day. "The key to successful leadership is influence, not authority."
