Thoughts about manic depression:

First of all I think it is definitely real

Yet it should be called

Depression Mania

It tends to run in families

Plus many go untreated

While many get too much treatment

I think it is caused by both depression and higher levels of stress

Which is a fairly brutal combo

Sometimes rather common in some countries

The consequences are of course great

Perhaps too great to comprehend

Perhaps an explanation to the falling of things around the world

Since it creates more depression mania than anytime in history

I believe the basic truth is we are living in an age of mental health

We need to grasp this

Just my opinion anyway.
