Mental Illness

I have been dianosed with Bipolar I, Schizoid Effect Personality Disorder Disorder and Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder. Each disorder causes it’s own set of problems.

Bipolar¹ is a chronic medical condition with no known cure. It is also known as Manic Depression, my preferred term. Bipolar disorder causes extreme mood swings.

People with Schizoid Effect Personality Disorder² have an indifference to others and are often socially isolated.

Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder³ is a condition in which patients are preoccupied with rules, orderliness, and control. This is not the same as OCD.
