FEATURED TIP:

There are more people with a mental illness in the United States than with heart disease.  About 22% compared to 21 %.  Out of those 66 Million Americans with mental illnesses, about 3 million have Bipolar Disorder.  But yet, most of the funding for research comes from private contributions.... WHY???  Let's unite and get more government grants and support for health for ourselves as well as our loved ones.
