message: This statement is true. Do you have proof that bipolar will never be cured? --WikiCats 09:10, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I removed that statement because it is too vague. What exactly defines when a disorder/disease/condition is "cured"? Is any medical condition ever really "cured"? It's all about how effective the available treatments are.  I think the article should focus on this angle: the effectiveness of treatments, not vague statements about a "cure".  -- Barrylb 09:45, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I have copied your recent wording from the main article, it is better phrased - concentrating on whether a person can be rid of the condition rather than a general statement about whether the disorder "has been cured". -- Barrylb 09:55, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Bipolar disorder has not been cured

message: Whereas yoga may certainly be helpful for regulating mania in some cases, in some people it can engender religious mania. Persons with a propensity toward religious flights of fancy can become fixated on yoga when it is taught with a religious (or pseudo-religious) aspect. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 64.81.35.113 (talk) 03:18, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

message: why does the article start with "Bipolar disorder is treatable."  ?
the first line in the description is that it's treatable ?
that's not AT ALL appropriate  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.0.209.138 (talk) 11:22, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

message: Should nutritional therapies be included from quality articles and studies (i.e. peer reviewed, double-blind, randomized, controlled-trials)? I think, absolutely. If there is general agreement, will do... Gnif global (talk) 12:50, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Nutrition 

message: The only thing stated about some type of "con" to this idea was : "On the other hand cannabis may not be a very suitable medicine for people with bipolar disorder, as scientists have shown cannabis may trigger psychosis, hallucinations or psychotic illnesses in individuals who have an existing predisposition to mental illness or are already suffering from it."  Other medications also have a wide list of negative side effects that come along with them, and the only way of knowing if they are going to come into play is to try them.  Should they be putting effort into researching this and coming up with safer means of ingesting THC and other cannabinoids?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Thrackin (talk • contribs) 07:48, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Under the CAM section, there are references to several ongoing studies. These appear to be unpublished, and still taking place (at the very least, this one is). I don't believe we should be referencing ongoing studies as there are literally no results to look at yet. First off, without any references at all, this entire block of text should likely be removed. And even with refs, I would say it should go until there are results published in a reliable, peer-reviewed journal. Any dissenting opinions? --Transity (talk • contribs) 01:24, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  In response to marijuana treatment 

message: I thought the ketamine study was very interesting, but that the detail was too brief on the page. Given its availability and potential dangers of misuse, I wanted to give the study size, dropouts etc. There's also a more recent study that confirms the findings, again in a small number of pts though. Let's hope someone does a Phase 2/3 soon, it looks promising.

message: The section on Omega-3 fatty acids contains,
"Omega-3 fatty acids may be found in fish, fish oils, algae, and to a lesser degree in other foods such as flaxseed, flaxseed oil and walnuts. Although the benefits of Omega-3 fatty acids remain debated, they are readily available at drugstores and supermarkets, relatively inexpensive, and have few known side effects. (All of these oils, however, have the capacity to exacerbate GERD—food sources may be a good alternative in such cases.)"
Is this appropriate content? Sounds to me like it verges on  medical advice. - - MrBill3 (talk) 14:30, 5 August 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Is this appropriate content for WP? 

message: There is no mention of cost-effectiveness on this article. This isn't all that surprising given the lack of research. However, I feel some detail about what the research says about the cost-effectiveness of various treatments would be valuable. A recent systematic review would be a good place to start. As an economist with limited knowledge of the literature, I'm reluctant to weigh-in. But happy to assist. I wrote a blog post about said review, if that helps.

thread_title:  Cost-effectiveness 

message: Hi! I just removed a large section of text from the article regarding the "natural" lithium aspartate, which, as compared to the "inorganic" lithium carbonate, would be more cost effective, safer, and used in lower doses than the traditional lithium salts. I did this using the mobile app so I never got to add any edit summary, but here it is. It seems as if "natural" lithium purveoyrs now sell lithium aspartate when before the salt lithium orotate was the thing of the day. W·n·C? 15:01, 20 March 2016 (UTC)
