    DescriptionHowever, a study by Manchester University found that a significant minority of people with bipolar “do not want it to go away” as they view it as helping them have creative thoughts.

    Dr. Warren Mansell, who carried out the study, said: “Knowing there is such a difference in attitude towards bipolar disorder is helpful when selecting the best treatment.

    “If these patients were to find a way of getting high moods without the bipolar disorder, they would.

    “But nevertheless, it may be a lot more helpful for clinicians to help them by tackling recognised problems such as anxiety and depression - rather than trying to work on the high moods.”
