Bipolar Disorder: Biopsychosocial Etiology and Treatments, and Its Place On a Cognitive Spectrum

This succinct research paper is a synthesis of the conclusions of myriad academic and journalistic research projects seeking to elucidate the factors that manifest, exacerbate, and relieve Bipolar Disorder (Manic Depression), and determine where it exists in relation to the cognitive spectrum of artistry and the revelations of the deeply religious. It concludes with a brief set of suggestions from the author, who is a remediated sufferer himself.
