I just want to share a personally episode that happened to me and my wife. My wife has bi polar depression and it was causing us a lot of suffering in our marriage, we tried all kinds of medicines but she was only getting worse, her face would look so not herself, and she was changing her opinions and ideas every half a day, its like she had a double personality. Finally we came across a product from a company called Nonichai, and she is now doing amazing. It took us a few weeks till we saw the difference but now she is more stable, our marriage is some much better now!

Manic depression which is now referred to as bi-polar disease is very debilitating. I have a friend who is diagnosed with bi-polar disease and her life is driven by this disorder. She struggles to stay happy but ends up in a hole that she can not get out of. Very sad.

A scary thing.People really run the gamut of emotions with this.I myself do not know anyone personally with this malady but what from I heard it is a bear to deal with.

i have a friend whose 23 yr old son is manic depressant and let me tell you its a roller coaster ride for everyone . he can be the most loving young man when he takes his medication regularly and ive seen him at both ends of his disease and its anywhere from irritating frustrating sad and sometimes very scary but you feel helpless and dont know what to do to help
