Do you know of someone with bipolar illness?

Most people are not aware of the symptoms. Family members, friends, neighbours or school mates are more likely to observe changes in the person’s mood, thinking and behaviour. It's not enough to look out for the symptoms stated earlier. Mental health experts consider how the condition has disrupted everyday activities and rule out other physical conditions that may be confused with bipolar disorder.

The process of stopping the drug may be gradual or sudden as suggested. However, for individuals that have been on mega doses of tramadol for long periods, stopping without proper professional support may not always be safe. Furthermore, it usually requires more than personal will to manage craving and prevent relapse. Let me know if you have additional questions.

ScienceWatch:
The world has been effectively scammed by medical science to believe in a long list of phony symptoms of mental illnesses for one main reason, that is to make money out of the suffering of mankind.

Finally the whole world is blessed and freed from this Satanic scam.

All the above symptoms have its root cause in the spirit of humans.

The cure is therefore spiritual. The world is no longer fooled by drugs that can only hide the symptoms.

A famous doctor once said that there is no money in a cure. That says it all for medical science.

I agree completely that persons with mental illness experience suffering and are indeed vulnerable to others who make a lot of claims. Unfortunately, medicine does not have ALL the answers nor claim to do so unlike other fields. Nevertheless, it is not easy to dismiss millions of persons with mental illness that have benefited from medications.

ScienceWatch:
There is too much scientific evidence today that reveal that so-called Bi-Polar disorder is simply a spiritual attack.

Examine what happened to my distant cousin, Griffin. He was an Atheists. He used to mock God and Jesus.

Three years ago, while searching for the best cure for my distant cousins stage four cancer, I was told by a doctor that I will find the most powerful answers if I watch Emmanuel TV or go search on youtube.com

I told my cousin, Griffin to install a satellite dish and watch Emmanuel TV in his bedroom. Even as an Atheist, He had it the following day.
He Phoned me four days later and said that he is feeling stronger daily and that he must get to the holy Scoan Church Nigeria to meet with the world respected Prophet TB Joshua. He said many people are speaking bad things about TB Joshua, but from what he examined on Emmanuel TV, he is convinced that the Miracles are real.

To make Griffins long story very short. He went to The Holy Scoan Church Nigeria and returned looking fit and healthy.

Griffin went back to the hospital for tests and the doctors could not believe the results. Every other medical problem Griffin had including the cancer was perfectly healed. He said one doctor exclaimed in shock, " There truly is a God." Griffin told the doctor that he was told by the holy Prophet TB Joshua that all he need do from now is "Sin no more."

Sin brings [/b]dark spirit attacks, but we have been brain-washed by science to only believe in science.

[b]Now I only believe in science for my watch, car, and video games.
