Problem:
For this assignment you are all going to break out your inner creative writer and tell a story about the life of an individual with severe Bipolar I disorder that takes place over the course of a year. Based on your knowledge from the material as well as the lecture on bipolar disorder, imagine the life of someone struggling with this diagnosis and how their days, weeks, & months might go over the course of a year. Talk about the depressed periods, the manic periods, the struggles and aspects of their life that may be impacted during each of these times, and how that cycle repeats itself. Have fun with this and be thoughtful to some of the ways in which these things could potentially impact a persons life.
