Bipolar+and+famous

Bipolar disorder is such an interesting condition, people suffering from it experience such highs and lows, many have been able to maintain very successful careers while living with bipolar (formerly called manic depression). Oddly enough a lot of famous people have bipolar, from Aristotle to DMX, so for this project we are going to explore what it is that makes it possible to be successful while experiencing this condition, or how bipolar impacts these artists, athletes, politicians, and scientists.

This group project is to select a category and then a group of **five people** who were diagnosed with bipolar and create a ppt via googledocs to explain how bipolar impacted each of their lives. Share with me (rachelwz gmail) Perhaps focus on a career that you are considering...
