Approximately 2.3 million Americans will experience bipolar disorder (previously called "manic-depression") in any given year

A disproportionate number of these individuals are exceptionally creative people such as writers, artists, musicians and entertainers

Without treatment, up to 20% of people suffering from bipolar disorder may die by suicide
