5 Positives of Living with Bipolar Disorder (Besides Creativity)

Whilst I agree with this little list at International Bipolar Foundation website - I’m really reluctant to ascribe any positives to a disorder that, when improperly managed, results in brain damage, reduced cognitive capacity, symptoms of PTSD, long periods (years) of feeling scrambled & which is still so poorly understood & brings with it the potential risk of being badly, wrongly or harmfully medicated for extended periods.

This fully referenced research article was really interesting - "Positive Traits in the Bipolar Spectrum: The Space between Madness and Genius"
