I remember as a child holding my mothers face in my hands as she spun from her mania to depression.
"Mom, it's not your fault they will discover it's just a chemical problem."
Mania always took us all on a dangerous trip. So when she'd come down.... really down we'd all be reeling from the rapid descent.
It did turn out to be the biological chemicals.
We really can't step backwards and demote all this learning into a light weight idea of just pull yourself up....etc.
My mothers family were all sick. It was the chemistry of my grandparents together.Has science taught us nothing?
