What was the treatment from Japan you found about bipolar? I cannot find your rant about this. I also cannot find anything online anywhere about this.

I also found that herpes simplex 2 might cause this as well if it gets into brain. So there might be multiple causes.

As an aside, it seems like a lot of people are seeing this being caused by viruses, but few even talk about how to solve this problem. It is like they love identifying the issue, but don't care about a cure.

@Demolishun yes, that Japanese study was mentioned by me in a comment, not a rant

Google hhv-6 bipolar

@Demolishun Treating viral infactions after the fact still is a mostly unsolved problem. Antiviral drugs exist, but they seem to be pretty specific and despite there being more of fourty of them for treating HIV, no combination of them actually cures the patient.

And also, big pharma in general doesn't want to cure you. They want to sell you something you have to take till the end of your life. That said, it probably is still better to treat the symptoms with the available meds than having to live through them untreated...

@Oktokolo Another issue is that viruses that get into the brain are hard to reach because of barrier.

@Demolishun this is precisely the reason why they want to develop a nasal spray. You seem like you know this topic, I’m impressed.
