Another Day, Another Bipolar Site, Another Bipolar Blog

A kind reader passed along a pointer to the bipolar-connection.com, a decent enough resource site and point-of-entry to all that is bipolar. The site is part of the HealthCentral.com family of websites, all of which are heavily tilted to Pharma's POV and run Pharma ads. Nothing evil in that per se. I'm just pointing it out. What make me shake my head a bit though is that one of HealthCentral.com's parent company's primary investors is the Carlyle Group. Didn't Dubya's daddy and a buncha his friends have a connection there? Why, yes, yes they did...or do. I wonder why they have their paw prints on this. Just wondering.

The bipolar-connection also launched a connected blog last fall, a month after my feeble venture took sail. It's called John's Bipolar Stories and is far more mainstream than anything I'll ever do. I'm guessing talk of suicidality, substance use, spending and sex sprees and the joys of hypomania won't be making an appearance there. Still, it's good that a bunch of us are out there.
