What follows is my personal story, my experience, of bipolar disorder(BPD) as well as several other manifestations of mental health disorders.  It is my life-narrative with a special focus on the idiosyncratic manifestations, the symptomologies, of BPD.  The second leading cause of death globally by 2020 will, arguably, be due to the multitude of mental health disorders of which BPD is but one.  For this reason, among others, I have posted part or all of what I call my 'chaos-narrative' at a number of internet sites.

Severe mental tests have been afflicting people across most cultures in the last century, arguably, since the onset of the Great War: 1914-1918—to say nothing of their presence in the long history of humankind.   These tests will continue to do so in the decades ahead as the tempest afflicting society continues apparently unabated.  Severe mental tests are everywhere apparent, not only in the field of psychiatry and clinical psychology whose role is to deal with these afflications, but also across the wider culture in which we all live in the print and electronic media and often in our own personal lives.
