Bipolarity and Schizophrenia
I am not sure where to ask this, so I am putting it on this desk. Is there a link between bipolarity and schizophrenia? I have read the articles on bipolar and cyclothymia (with which I was recently diagnosed). I did a Google Search on it just now, and found a book claiming there was a link, but unfortunately it was under a paywall. Does anybody have any references I could look into?

 * From paragraph 2 of Schizophrenia: There appears to be overlap in the genetics of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.[44]  Citation 44 links to a fully accessible article on this. Loraof (talk) 14:58, 19 January 2016 (UTC)

Is there another name for "spit bag".
If not, is there a good reference to a page where "spit bag" is used? I'd rather not use cagepotato.com as a reference... As I understand, a spit bag is a bag pulled over someone's (intern) head to prevent them from spitting at someone else (guard). --Bensin (talk) 20:43, 19 January 2016 (UTC)


 * (I think you mean internee, not intern). A muzzle (device) serves that purpose and also prevents biting (our article seems to be only about animal muzzles). StuRat (talk) 00:00, 20 January 2016 (UTC)
 * You obviously haven't met the interns where I work. Just kidding. You are of course right. :-) Thanks! --Bensin (talk) 21:08, 20 January 2016 (UTC)
 * This article from the Daily Telegraph uses the terms "spit hood" and "anti-spitting hood", and this FOI request from Leicestershire Police uses the terms "spit masks" and "spit bags". There's a link from the latter page to a Daily Mail article which uses "spit hood". Tevildo (talk) 09:30, 20 January 2016 (UTC)
