Cease fire As someone who has not yet been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and is actively researching it before seeking help I would like to ask that we please stop all this POV fighting on both sides Wikipedia is not the place for point of view no matter what It is near impossible to find unbiased information when both sides edit eachothers edits mercilessly at the drop of a hat Even more so when it s done a dozen times in the space of a weekend Please take extreme care to keep everything in context cite all assertions and take extreme pains not to introduce your own point of view into the article A good policy is to post your ideas in discussion before making an edit so you can get feedback Another is if in doubt don t post it What is good for one person is not good for everyone If you have evidence of a cause or harmful side effect by all means cite it and add it Just make sure it doesn t have a slant If you wish to make your opinion known there are innumerable forums for that out on the net this is simply not the place Wikipedia exists to provide a repository for unbiased knowledge not a battleground between differing points of view I would love to be able to look at this article as a reference of what research has been done on BD what its symptoms officially are and current treatments that are in use Assertions that one method is better or worse than another outside the scope of documented research only obfuscate the truth and pollute the article regardless of which point of view they are for OR against the issue Can t we all just get along and let the wiki do what it s supposed to do 12 13 2 Aug 2005
