I think that is a great idea! I have been trying to get help because although iam a good natured person with a good attitude i sometimes have trouble handling too much stress. In so much that i find it hard at times to work full time and alls i get is the run around--my mother had bi-polor disorder and iam pretty sure i probablly do too--but at 44 it is hard trying to get diagnosed when you have never tried before is hard. A blood test would be the perfect solution to determine whether i have it or not. It would cut out alot of BS.

well thank-you. iam going to consult a dr. about a blood test and i will let you know!

COMPLETE POPPYCOCK! There are currently NO biological tests for indicating mental illness.

considering the state of most common peoples lives at this time in history its not surprising people are soooo stressed out they dont know which way to turn and emotions are the normal overflow of their inability to cope with the reality of their current state of being. giving people all these "great drugs" only leads patients to believe their doctors are going to help them when in truth all these drugs are messing their systems up even more than the original complaint - my life sucks and there is no help out there to make my life any better - take the drugs - go on disabliity - never feel reality again. drugs are not the answer. true life changes are what people need - not drugs.
