For most of human history, mental illness has been largely untreatable. Sufferers lived their lives - if they survived - in and out of asylums, accumulating life's wreckage around them. In 1948, all that changed when an Australian doctor and recently returned prisoner of war, working alone in a disused kitchen, set about an experimental treatment for one of the scourges of mankind - manic depression, or bipolar disorder. That doctor was John Cade and in that small kitchen he stirred up a miracle.

Depression and loneliness come and go. It is not uncommon for them to occur together, as depression causes people to isolate themselves, withdraw, and generally feel alone. Likewise, people who are alone in life (such as the elderly, shut-ins, prisoners, and people who are generally shy) may experience bouts of depression. Regardless of which causes the other, the reality is that you cannot avoid the problem and hope it goes away. While feelings of loneliness and depression may lessen with time, they usually return.

When you live with bipolar disorder, your unpredictable ability to sleep, your mood swings and the side effects of your medications can make life difficult to manage.
