Are you suggesting that bipolar disorder is a result of situational
factors alone?

This case reminds me of Dr. John Appels work and his ideas on the
link
between control and mental health. This woman had given up her self in
order
to make sure her marriage lasted. In the process, she subjected
herself to a
great deal of stress. This stress seems to have precipitated a
Bipolar
Disorder crisis, a hospitalization, and the loss of her will to live.
