Hi!


I hope you?re having a good week.

I was thinking about something today. I have
several people who work for me who have
bipolar disorder, and I always brag on them,
about how you would never know that they
have the disorder, unless they told you.

Of course, I live in New Jersey, and they
live in other places, all over the map. But I
was wondering about what they look like in
person. I mean, not their looks, but whether
in person, that you can or can?t tell that they
have bipolar disorder.

So that made me think about you and your
loved ones. If there?s almost 12 million people
with bipolar disorder, chances are you know
more than just your loved one with the
disorder. Can you tell or can you NOT tell
just by looking, if someone has bipolar disorder
or not?

Interesting question, don?t you think?

See, what made me think about it, too, was
the many emails I?ve gotten from people like
you, asking me about whether ?it? is the
bipolar or the loved one, and about whether
they are ?faking? it or not. That?s been a real
big issue, according to the emails and calls
I?ve gotten.

So I give it to you. What do you think?
What has been your experience? Can you
tell just by looking, if your loved one
has bipolar disorder or not? If so, what
is it about their behavior that gives them
away?

For those of you who can?t tell, what is
it about your loved one?s behavior
that is different, that doesn?t give them
away?

In my courses and systems, I talk about
what makes a person high-functioning.
This is what I think, at least by what the
people who work for me are concerned,
is what makes them different, and in my
courses I have a whole section on being
high functioning:

SUPPORTING A CHILD/TEEN WITH BIPOLAR DISORDER?

HAVE BIPOLAR DISORDER?

High-functioning behavior can make a
person with bipolar disorder NOT stand
out as someone with the disorder. Does
that make sense?

Whereas, on the other hand, someone who
has bipolar disorder, but is NOT high
functioning, would be someone who you
can tell DOES have bipolar disorder.

I have seen this firsthand ? in the people
who work for me, those I have interviewed
for my courses, those who I have talked
to at the support groups I attend, and
others I have heard from via email and phone.

Now, I?d like to hear from you. What do
you think? Where does your loved one fall?

Well, I have to go, but I?m looking forward
to hearing from you!

Your friend,
