  1. Thanks for posting these articles, Laura.
    Here's another one, reported yesterday on sciencedaily.com
    http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/09/090929141530.htm It describes a study finding that more than one-half of those diagnosed with bipolar disorder between the ages of 18 and 25 no longer suffer from the disorder at 30. One possible explanation is that the developing brain "outgrows" the illness.
