There have recently been huge gains in our understanding of the genetics behind development of bipolar disorder. Since 2003, when the Human Genome Project sequenced all of the DNA in the human genome, it is now possible to compare the DNA of those with bipolar disorder to the DNA of those who do not suffer from a mood disorder. The discoveries are just beginning, but perhaps soon we will understand everything about the genetics that contribute to bipolar disorder and other mental illnesses.See "Genetics of Bipolar Disorder: A Hereditary Mental Illness?" for a brand new article summarizing some of the latest discoveries.

Still doing well. Fighting with my husband. I'm not that easy to get along with. Need to work on my communication. Writing is one thing, but actually talking...that can be hard. Still, my mood is pretty stable and well balanced.

Discovering blogging might be my salvation. After years of wondering 'why am I so different', particularly, emotionally, I feel like I am beginning to make sense of it all. Fighting with my husband seems the norm lately. It's so theraputic to write how I feel, even if a bit cringe worthy. Will visit your blog often.
