 This article is in much better shape than when I first started working on it in 2000. I think we should model it after the schizophrenia article that is a feature article. What do you think?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by   •    
 ::Yep. my idea precisely, and I did rearrange it a while ago. Just need the time and inclination to really gt stuck into it...Cheers,   ·   

 There is a sentence in the ""Diagnosis"" section that begins, "" “…[M]utations in...."" The ellipsis at the beginning is improper (I put the one at the end). Ellipsis is not used at the beginning of a quote, even where the quote is only part of a sentence. Readers know you're not quoting everything the source said. I would make the correction myself but the article is locked.   —Preceding unsigned comment added by     

 ==bi-polar illness== 
 Since my entry thus designated was speedily deleted because it ""provides no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent"", a friend who had happened upon it before it got gonged and found it useful asked me to re-instate it, so I append my point in this article. However, many of us m.d.s prefer ""manic depressive"" as being more accurately descriptive of the condition. 
 ""What's the 'F.N.' stand for?"" I'm frequently asked.  
 ""Frequently Normal,"" I tell 'em. 
    

 Don't feel like signing in after saying this. I'm probably Low grade bi-polar and have known since I was about 15 or so. I'd sleep alot sometimes and not sleep for days, depersonalization real bad, depression then happy. All that stuff rolled into one. Everyone has some flaw though so i'm not whining about that. What I will say is this. I have been given celexa and one other antidepressant. Neither one did anything at all for me. I go to college and same old same old. No one really knows cause who gives a shit really. For the first time at age 19 I smoke a joint. Guess what? Ever since I started all I have to once a day I light up. I work at 60 thousand dollar year high tech job with danger every where making food for literally hundreds of thousands of people and I am a POTHEAD according to some people. 60 thousand net, not gross, net. It's like you try to better yourself, to make yourself healthy, to balance out, and all the sudden your a fucking drug addict for not using the right drugs. Under that same hypocritical logic anyone who drinks 1 beer a week to me is raging alchoholic who we should lock up in jail for years. All I have is he who without sin cast the first stone, otherwise shut the fuck up. 

  
 um....number one, if you are bipolar giving you antidepressants is just going to screw things up more, so whoever prescribed them to you.....yeah. and, so what if people think youre a pothead. just do your own thing and if it works it works. people just have fun chastizing people all over the place, it has nothing to do with you personally.  i dont think this really belongs here but, whatever. 

 == Typo == 
 ""However, the relationship between the disorder and creativity is still very unclear."" 

 Can someone delete the extra 'the' here? 

 sure. and i case you said 'thank you', you're welcome. 

 == basic description/summary == 

 This article is missing a basic description/summary of the condition, and seems to just straight into more detailed discussion which assumes prior knowledge    

 :I've now rolled the article back to an earlier, and in my opinion better structured, version, as it was as of as of  . Also, I see that the version I rolled back seems to contain substantial amounts of text from other websites, such as , against the Wikipedia copyright policy.    

 I'm proud of the changes that have been made to this article - some of which I've done and are still retained. I'm also glad that the article is locked now. Too many changes were being made by individuals who weren't qualified to be writing about the disorder. Great job Wikipedia! Shows that open source in
