The Effects of Bipolar Disorder My topic of interest will be on Bipolar Disorder and its psychological, emotional and financial effects. The reason for choosing this topic is because bipolar disorder runs on my side of the family and it runs on my husbands’ side of the family as well. My sister in law was diagnosed with bipolar disorder after she abandoned her husband and their two daughters. My Aunt Gwen was also diagnosed with it but I was never allowed to know, I was told she “has many sides to her love.” I believe in choosing this topic that it will help me be able to truly grasp this disorder so that I can help my nieces to understand the disorder also.
