Bipolar disorder is now the sixth leading disability in the world.  It is a chronic and recurring psychiatric disorder that causes dramatic and sudden mood swings – although depression is the bigger problem because that is when the sufferer is more likely to commit suicide.

Astonishingly for such a prevalent condition, not one of the 25 standard antidepressants has been approved for use for the disorder, even though doctors regularly prescribe them to patients.

And, according to a new Harvard study, they’re wasting their time.  A group of 366 bipolar sufferers were given either a mood stabilizer and antidepressant, or a mood stabilizer and a placebo – but the drug wasn’t any more effective than the placebo.  Levels and frequency of mania were similar in both groups.

Vitex Agnus Castus is an herbal progesterone that controls mood swings...I have been taking a formulation with this component in it for several years...turns out I just had wacky hormones & had been misdiagnosed as bipolar along with a host of other things...& had been prescribed a bunch of expensive useless mind numbing drugs...I believe many suffering supposedly from bipolar illness(which I think is not the correct diagnosis), like me, can live happily, like I do, while taking this supplement...readily available at the Whole Foods Market (or other supplement stores), it must be taken everyday for a long time, as it is an herbal, & as such, not that strong in the short term...it can be taken by men or women...
