"Medications that target the protein BAG1, which regulates a process that can trigger symptoms in people who have bipolar disorder, may offer a new way of treating the disease, according to NIMH scientists...

I think its inspiring that there are scientists and researchers out there trying to find better treatments and answers for bipolar. What do you think?

" Great article, Jace! Thank you for sharing. I think it's wonderful how scientists, researchers AND those of who suffer from mental illnesses are making a difference so that others don't have to suffer the way a lot of us have through the past 30 or more years. It's a slow process, but it IS working one step at a time. "
