Bipolar was found to be caused by a malformation of the sodium
pumps. These malformed sodium pumps close to tight causing the
electrostatic charge of sodium to build up too high. This amplifies the
feelings too painfully high.
Lithium allow a leak in the sodium pumps,
like putting a foot in the door.
"Schizophrenia", meaning "scatter brained" in Greek, is a mythical
catchall for over a thousand brain disorders and political
incorrectness.
Before the 1990's it was said that the causeof schizophrenia was
unknown. In about 1997 schizophrenia was defined as having too much
dopamne, to justify the use of dopamine blockers to devastate patients
into submission.
There is a new tag: "schizoeffective" that supposedly defines the
mixture of bipolar and schizophrenic, factual and normative, or perhaps
I should say abnormative.
