Everyone has a disorder, right?

01

At the beginning of the 21st century a lot of people have came out with "mental diseases" such as esquizofrenia, depression or even bipolar disorder.But, is it true? Or is it just trends? The point is that before this wave of sudden mental disorders, there were people -more preciseley, authors- that had to deal with it. We know some of them but, do we know the unknown authors that suffered bipolar disorder.

02

What is a "bipolar disorder"?

A "bipolar disorder" is a serious mental illness that causes unusual shifts in mood, ranging from extreme highs (mania or “manic” episodes) to lows (depression or “depressive” episode). A person who has bipolar disorder also experiences changes in their energy, thinking, behavior, and sleep.
