Bipolar Disorder
Bipolar Disorder Is treatable but not curable. I personally call it one heck of a roller coaster ride. You will need a support group and your family will need support as well.
Make sure you get a doctor you can work well with who allows you to be involved in your treatment. ALWAYS ask your doctor before stopping your medications.
There are bipolar support groups for family and those who suffer the illness as well.

Comments:
A person will obsess on something irrational such as continuous apologizing when they have done nothing wrong. They may experience compulsions such as counting, hand washing, cheking (Did I lock my doors and continue to recheck them repeatedly) etc…
