New treatments being sought for bipolar disorder

Article on the fact that bipolar disorder seems more complex than previously thought.

Posted here because 73.4% of my friends list suffers from it.

My dad used to get extremely nasty mood swings when he drank beer. Didn't necessarily happen when he was drunk, just when he's been drinking it regularly. One day he hit baby me, and quit drinking it cold turkey.

He's thankful for the non-alcoholic brews they have nowadays, since he does love the taste of beer.

Non-alc alger tastes pretty much like lager. Which is a shame cos I'm not fond of lager. I've never seen a non/low alcohol 'real ale'. Non-alc cider is too sweet, ditto all non-alc "wine".

I think that if there was non-alcohol wine that actually tasted like wine instead of slight off (and usually fizzy!) overly sweet grape juice then I could maybe be happy with that.
