I'm not really sure where to post this, so I guess I'll post it here. I've recently been diagnosed with bipolar disorder. It's mild so I don't need to be locked up yet XD. I have everything under control; medication, counselor ect. I also have an uncle that is schizophrenic. From what the doctor's told me, schizophrenia can be hereditary. Also, schizophrenia can branch off of bipolar disorder. So I still do have the chances of going schizophrenic. The doctor did say that as long as I take my medication, I should be fine. Well I guess what I'm trying to say is have you had any personal experience of a family member with a mental disorder, or do you yourself have a mental disorder?

For vocabulary sake:

Bipolar disorder : Unsteady mood swings

Schizophrenia : Delusions, whether visual or audio (so in short, you hear voices)

....That's just the stupid definitions....
