[QUOTE="miles2go, post: 310618, member: 6374"] What I would say : see this [url]http://www.biopsychiatry.com/protein-kinase-c.htm[/url] and this [url]http://www.pendulum.org/bpnews/archive/001954.html[/url] bottom line -- NOT taking medications WILL make you stupid. Your brain, due to a faulty gene, is firing signals like it's under constant stress or lead-poisoning. That wears out your prefrontal cortex -- stuff responsible for working memory, focus on task, impulse control and possibly other cognition-related things (like thinking things through A to Z rather than A to D and then off on a tangent). Soon enough the damage is felt. Neurons are worn out. Glial cells are destroyed (BiPolar (BP)'s have less of these glial cells than an average person. Einstein had huge amount of them). Another way brain damage occurs is when a big mania/anger episode happens -- like a seizure it blasts a pathway through the part of the brain where no pathway should be, making the next such seizure more likely. So take the medications to keep your brain working right and not let the faulty signaling destroy useful parts of it. [/QUOTE]
