Introduction Re-write[edit]

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. Retrieved February 13, 2017, from http://www.healthline.com/health/bipolar-disorder/history-bipolar Maddieaalund (talk) 17:50, 13 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Good sources[edit]

An article I was reading noted several sources for ancient descriptions of bipolar disorder:

Angst, Jules, and Robert Sellaro. "Historical perspectives and natural history of bipolar disorder." Biological psychiatry 48.6 (2000): 445-457. <https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/141f/0703e484b9120b8950b3e1ee82a216993b84.pdf>
Angst, Jules, and Andreas Marneros. "Bipolarity from ancient to modern times:: conception, birth and rebirth." Journal of affective disorders 67.1 (2001): 3-19.
Marneros, Andreas. "The history of bipolar disorders." Bipolar Depression: Molecular Neurobiology, Clinical Diagnosis and Pharmacotherapy. Birkhäuser Basel, 2009. 3-16. <https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-7643-8567-5_1>
Goodwin, Frederick K., and Kay Redfield Jamison. Manic-depressive illness: bipolar disorders and recurrent depression. Vol. 1. Oxford University Press, 2007.

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)[reply]

I have now added some edition of each of these works to either the References list of the Further reading section of this article. Of course, I'm sure they have additional content that could be added to this article as well. Daask (talk) 15:03, 2 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thomas & Grey, 2016[edit]

Thomas, Justin; Grey, Ian (2016). "From Black Bile to the Bipolar Spectrum: A Historical Review of the Bipolar Affective Disorder Concept" (PDF). Archives of Depression and Anxiety. 2 (1).

The above journal article appears to have used an earlier version of this Wikipedia article during their research (Compare with this article on 4 January 2015 or even 6 October 2009). 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)[reply]

Zyprexa - Eli Lilly[edit]

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
