Dianne, I have a friend who takes Lithium and does extremely well with her bipolar disorder.

A couple sites to check:
www.drada.org
www.ndmda.org
Those sites are for organizations.

This one is Julie Fast's site. She's a writer who has bipolar and has written a book for the loved ones to better understand the disorder. She is a really neat woman. Please check out her site.

Don't forget to visit the Resources for Women on this site.
