Talk:History of bipolar disorder

Introduction Re-write
Hi there! So I worked on the introduction of this article. I added some significant historical figures and some interesting facts. If there is anything that needs to be changed or edited, please let me know. The main source I used was: Krans, B., & Cherney, K. (2016, January 28). The History of Bipolar Disorder.

Good sources
An article I was reading noted several sources for ancient descriptions of bipolar disorder: I might not get around to adding them to this article, so feel free to do so yourself! Sondra.kinsey (talk) 20:04, 29 May 2017 (UTC)

The above journal article appears to have used an earlier version of this Wikipedia article during their research (Compare with this article on or even ). Don't cite it without checking for circular references. This comment is not intended to in any way diminish their work. Daask (talk) 22:38, 1 January 2018 (UTC)

Zyprexa - Eli Lilly
Bi-Polar Disorder was created by the makers of Zyprexa. It is a fabricated disease,like all psychiatric "disorders", with no objective evidence or assays which prove its existence. They wanted to capture the "depression" market. There is no reason to go back into Greek history to explain the emergence of "Bi-Polar" disease
