university medical center in las vegas and out of new york scientists are testing seasickness patches and other surprising options in a challenging search for new ways to treat depression depression and uncontrolled mania of bipolar disorder also called manic depression it's an illness that can rip careers and marriages apart and drive people to suicide and it's so complex and mysterious there was searchers haven't developed a medication specifically for instance of lithium but then a half a century ago bipolar appears to be in various in about one in every twenty five american adults at some point in their lives according to major study published to me current medicines help but often fall short they certainly reduce symptoms but don't do a good enough job said dr hussein mangi of the national institute of mental health many patients are help but they're not well nobody knows yet whether the latest crop of possible treatments will pan out besides the motion sickness patches unusual choices include a drug that treats lou gehrig's disease and a device that produces sonata fields around the brain even the breast cancer drug has been tested some of these approaches were identified by logic and others by pure chance scientists already have early evidence that some day gave me prove useful against bipolar disorders classic the future is episodes of which are periods of boosted energy and restlessness that can run for more than a week or more you have so much energy you have so many great i do said cameron twenty six of pittsburgh resinous who was diagnosed several years ago she asked that her last name not be used you feel like you're thinking so clearly you've got to answer for everybody you need to tell them you need to phone all your friends it's so hard to sleep you keep thinking of all sorts of things but many you can also bring in extreme irritability cameras and our genetic charisma made her the life of the party but if someone's build a drink on me i would just explode she recalled it's like all your emotions are just completely intensified she got into fists into fights and experience road rage she made bad decisions plagiarizing it college paper and behaving promiscuously a lot of things sound like a good idea when you're manic and they're really not very manic episodes many people even begin to get help those nations are delusions in turn tamar experienced these two i was convinced i could hear other people's thoughts or at least know what they were she recalled i thought everybody was saying bad things about me the other side of bipolar coin is episodes of depression that last a week or more for temora depression is life turning grey not seen as interesting you're bored with everything now it seems sounds fun anymore all you want to do is sleep i slip days and days away in her senior year of calling thoughts of suicide frighten her into seeking help doctors currently treat bipolar with a variety of drugs including a list of anticonvulsants medications that can stabilize mood and i psychotics psychological therapy and patient education greatly boost the effectiveness of the drugs tamarack takes lithium and another drug and says i'm doing fine right now she's lucky bipolar disorder is hard to treat and chiefly because the depression episodes are more severe and more resistance to ordinary puller depression notes dr andrea leni an associate professor of psychiatry at the university of pittsburgh that's more many patients can't tolerate current bipolar medications because of side effects like weight gain and sleeplessness tremors and sense of feeling drugged said some patients also stop taking their medicine because they missed the hives so the disease his study of treated patients published last year found out about sixty percent got well for at least eight weeks but only half of that group are made well one followed up to two years and this was a very good therapy no doctor and  professor of psychiatry at harvard medical school that means there's a lot of room for improvement there and burke said that's why we need new treatments but there's a basic problem just as heart attacks come from chronic heart disease the manic and depressive episodes come from an underlying chronic brain disease we just don't really understand what's behind the illness so dr gary sacks who directs bipolar research at harvard massachusetts general hospital mystery and the complexity of the disorder have encouraged this current science that is from trying to develop drugs for bipolar nonsense letting him develop more than fifty years ago had they developed a drug specifically for which is normally used to keep people from getting seasick several years ago they were starting wethers could improve memory or intention to depress people so they gave the drug intervene asli to depressed patients trying to some patients would say that it's best night of they've had in many years and next morning they woke up feeling substantially lifted and their depression said in many cases that improvement persisted for weeks or even now people shouldn't try to patch treatment for depression on their own she said it's similar bit of serendipity showed up at the hospital belmont massachusetts in two thousand and one depressed bipolar patients who are getting their brain scanned for scans might lift depression it's not clear now follow up studies have had inconsistent results but researchers have now built a device for example the hair salon dryer to produce electric fields they plan to start testing it does fall apart from luck researchers have taken advantage of the few insights they have into the bipolar disease to develop potential treatments that's a story with real losers now used to treat paralyzing disorders lou gehrig's disease also known as a last or amjad traffic this scientist found that a drug that's effective against depression in bipolar disorder boost the abundance of certain protein in ra brain cells that does too so the researchers tried rosell on a number of depressed bipolar patients and in some patients the symptoms virtually disappeared so was rose who is distributed by sa dentists might become a treatment for bipolar disorder similar research used on off the shelf drugs to get lead on developing a new medication studies in rats showed that lithium in another and i mean e a drug hamper the effect of the particular enzyme in the brain that suggested that other drugs that hamper that enzyme might work against meaning to the best available candidate to mark seven years to fight breast cancer and sure enough unlocking the mysteries of bipolar disorder and thereby exposing targets for drugs is the new generations of research into d n a in recent months scientific journals have begun to publish the early results of a revolution in d n a analysis the h but these kinds of studies will give us a chance and a reason from biological insights back to the patient sachs of harvard agreed i think these whole genome scans will be in fact be the important bridge to better leader sunday denied a double standard in pushing senator larry craig to resign after a sexting guilty plea will while remaining silent over g o p senator david vitter is involvement with an escort service it's senior democrat said a double standard by republican leaders is exactly what occurred senator john and sign republican nevada of senator senate republican campaign chairman said craig admitted guilt that is the big difference between being accused of something and actually admitting guilt  one i say there's a double standard said leahy secondly i don't think they ask him better to resign because of course he'll be replaced by a democrat it's easier to ask larry craig to resign because he'll be replaced by  he was caught in a sex sting at the minneapolis st paul airport in june and despite his guilty plea now insists he did nothing wrong that are of louisiana was not been charged with a crime although he acknowledge washington telephone number was among those called several years ago by an escort service prosecutors say the escort service was a

had strongly suggested that he resign another republican senator arlen specter of pennsylvania said on fox news sunday that craig should seek to vindicate himself i'd like to see larry craig sleep there with draw the guilty plea and fight the case and specter the top republican in the senate judiciary committee i'd like to see him fight the case because i think he should be vindicated regardless of any real legal developments in craig's case republicans clearly would frown on craig changing his mind about quitting the senate september thirtieth and leave the party with a festering not have candidates who have any kind of ethical considerations that will be a concern to the voters gillespie agreed with and signed a craig's guilty plea made his case different from data vitter the fact is that senator craig pled guilty to a crime and who was convicted of a crime senator vitter has been charged with a crime has not been charged with a crime let alone convicted so there's a pretty big distinction there gillespie said on fox despite craig's decision to leave senate democratic senate campaign chief charles schumer of new york soft to keep their corruption issue alive he can use republicans of failing to support ethic reforms when they were in a majority but the people are looking for american people are looking for is not a blame game but who is trying to clean it up schumer said on this week for six years there has been no ethics reform the new york senator defended democratic actions and a new fund raising scandal an unofficial end of the summer it's going to
