Yup, I know whole families who are riddled it with...unfortunately all
too few seek the help that would allow them to live decent lives. A
good friend was diagnosed a whiles back (at the urging of some of us)
and got help, life is SO much better for this person now! This person
has pretty much cut off all contact with other family members who show
bipolar tendencies, thus his quality of life has improved immeasurably.

Interestingly, one thing that I have run into on Usenet is people who
are apparently suffering from some form or other of Narcissistic
Personality Disorder. Now that is scary :-|
