I would like to get as much information as I can on manic-depressiveness.
I am looking for physiological as well as psychological reactions or
symptoms that might be signs of having this disorder.  I am specifically
interested in if there are any differentiations between males and females,
what the average age is of a person having the disorder, and what other
medications besides Lithium are used today to treat it.  Is there any
research to the fact that some people may be treated with a drug and then
be taken off of it, or does one have to stay on the drug for the rest of
their life?
