Famous bipolar people
All too often sites about famous bipolar people only include DEAD people or people we SUSPECT were bipolar but are really only speculating about.
What makes this current webpage different is that all the bipolar people featured are ALIVE (at least as of time of writing in October 2007) and have spoken openly about life as a person with bipolar disorder.
Their courage and eloquence are admirable and much needed. We can only hope that as more and more famous bipolar people "come out" there will be less stigma, less stereotyping and a lot more understanding, funding and support.
(And we confess to doing the dead people speculation thing as well - for example, see our pages on Kurt Cobain and Sir Winston Churchill.)

Would you have realized their behavior showed classic bipolar symptoms?

Enjoy, share with your friends, learn and feel encouraged. There are some amazing stories here and I urge you to view them all.

Bipolar and Creativity

bp Magazine's bipolar profilesbp Magazine frequently profiles famous people with bipolar disorder. This magazine dedicated to bipolar is an absolute gem and well worth subscribing to. It is excellent value for money, and always has something educational and fascinating inside.
So far the following famous bipolar people have been included:

1. Congressman Patrick J. Kennedy: He has drawn a lot of criticism, but what bipolar person cannot identify with Patrick Kennedy's battles - the notorious temper outbursts, self-medication, and inner demons? For many Americans he became a hero when he took the fight for mental health parity to Capitol Hill. Others have admired his perseverence and honesty. Given his relative youth, there is an amazing amount of good Patrick Kennedy can do if he continues his work on mental health and we are lucky to have him in public office. Read the profile - it is short but inspiring.

2. Actor Patty Duke: Patty Duke has wriiten two wonderful autobigrphical books about her bipolar, and we have previously profiled Patty Duke here at Bipolar Lives. For an Academy Award winner who has led such a tumultuous life, Patty Duke talks a lot of common sense. In the <BP Magazineinterview I like the way she explains that, despite all the enticements of euphoria, balanced is a much better place to be. Interestingly, one of her goals with her Web site is to explain to individuals who have bipolar disorder that they will not lose their creativity if they take medication. (Patty has taken lithium everday since diagnosis with no side effects.) She says that she’s more creative now because she can organize a thought. Actually, she say a lot of interesting things - read the interview!

3. TV journalist Jane Pauley: Here is another celebrity who controls their disorder with lithium, and has no complaints about side effects. In fact, Jane Pauley has no complants about anything. Her later in life diagnosis with bipolar disorder must have been shattering, but Jane Pauley handles it with graciousness and her hallmark honesty. For me, this is one of the richest of all the bp Magazine interviews, and I would rather you read it than me talk about it. It has many interesting features such as the late age on onset and apparent lack of bipolar family members. There is much here that is intriguing. Although Pauley is one of the more famous bipolar people, her signature girl next dor quality shines through, making this an easy story to understand and relate to. Her coming out will no doubt help many not famous bipolar people.

4. Actor Carrie Fisher: How can you not love Princess Leia? When Carrie Fisher told the world about her life with bipolar during an interview with Diane Sawyer on TV's 20/20 in 2000, she became one of the highest-profile celebrities to speak publicly about having mental illness. Her story will be of particular interest to anyone who also has substance abuse issues, or who is resisting their diagnosis or is non-compliant about their medication (I know - quite a crowd). This is compelling and moving reading, espcially the part where Carrie speaks about the impact of having a child: "Prior to having a child, I really did feel, it's my business if I wanted to stop my medications . . . I no longer feel that's so. . . It's a much easier decision if you have a child. You really don't want to be the person putting that look into anyone's eyes after a while."

5. The Fall 2007 issue features soap star heart throb Maurice Benard. However, Maurice is a wonderful advocate for bipolar disorder and his revealing interview can be read free online. Also keep an eye out for him oh teh speakering circuit and in the general media as he is a tireless mental health advocate. In particular, I appreciate the way he is so open about taking lithium at a time when many who need this medecine are turning away from it in favor of unproven alternatives. Another amazing thing is how art has mirrored life and Maurice has managed to integrate bipolar disorder into the storyline of General Hospital. His many interviews have included Oprah and CNN and it is hard to think of any star who has shown more enery or thoughtfulness in their public bipolar advocacy. More famous bipolar peopleSinéad O'Connor's Fall 2007 interview on Oprah was gripping television. Sinéad discussed her struggle, and how medication has helped her. Her description of her depression and suicide attempt were gut wrenching. When the medications were prescribed to her, Sinéad says she was scared to take them at first. "But I said, 'I've got nothing to lose . . . I actually kind of died and got born again as a result of taking the meds and having a chance to, you know, build a life." Other factors Sinéad mentions as crucial to her recovery are the routine and structure having four kids imposes on her life, and adopting the mantra "It doesn't have to be perfect".

Linda Hamilton was diagnosed with bipolar late in life, and refers as the years from ages 20 to 40 as "her lost years". Her rages and mood swings destryed her marriages and, despite her considerable professional success, she desribes her life before treatment as "bleak". Interestingly, she is another bipolar celebrity who emphasizes the importance of her children in her journey to wellness, and also stresses the importance of exercise and structure. Linda has done three particularly powerful and informative interviews which are educational and motivating, even to those who have lived with bipolar for a while. I highly recommend Linda Hamilton's Larry King Live interview, the Linda Hamilton Oprah interview, and a short but information packed piece done by Associated Press and MSNBC. All three are very worth looking at. They are richer than many of the pieces on famous bipolar people because of their practical content and because of Linda's willingness to discuss lesser known forms of mania and self-medication. Of all the material on this page about famous bipolar people, I feel these three interviews may be the most valuable.

Jean-Claude Van Damme is an action hero, kickboxing superstar, and another of our famous people with bipolar disorder. Van Damme was married four times between 1984 and 1994, and was a cocaine addict in the 1990s.Fortunately he was diagnosed with rapid-cycling bipolar and began taking medication - what Van Damme refers to as "that simple salt". That simple salt has turned his life around and he has now returned to his third wife and was able to quit cocaine cold turkey.
Most rehab centers treat cocaine addiction with a mixture of pharmacology and therapy.

Van Damme's is an interesting story because it highlights yet again how long even a prosperous person with access to great healthcare can go undiagnosed, how typical substance abuse is for bipolar people, and how ruinous hypersexuality and other manic symptoms are to our marriages and other important relationships.
