I agre with LAughing...MLC and Bipolar are so similar. I think of MLC as temporary Bipolar.
My friend Lingy's MLCers is Bipoloar...has been for many years prior to any MLC issues. I spoke with her last night and asked if I could give you her email.
She said that would be fine...so if you email me, I can put you in touch with her.
She may or may not know a lot about Bipolar...but having dealth with a Bipolar spouse for over 25 years, she can at least understand your situation better than many others.
