experts seem to agree that the pathology associated with bipolar disease and
with addiction is somehow connected to changes in brain chemistry.
I have both diseases. From the very outset of my treatment and my journey to recovery, I have suspected (call it an inspiration) that the etiology (origin) of these diseases is something other than chemical in nature. These days most professionals tend to believe in addition that the "etiology" of bipolar disease and of addiction (including alcoholism) is genetic. Well the jury is still out."
