Catherine’s bipolar disorder II

She used to have wide emotional and mood swings. But having a name for it helped her to realize her problems and cope with them.
She said:
“The fact that there was a name for my emotions and that a professional could talk me through my symptoms was very liberating. There are amazing highs and very low lows. My goal is to be consistently in the middle. I’m in a very good place right now.”
She had to battle her emotional problems as she supported her husband when he was diagnosed with throat cancer.
She wanted people to be aware of this disorder and hence decided to go public with her illness. Besides, she said that with the kind of life that her celebrity family lives, it was difficult to hide the illnesses.
She said:
“I’m not the kind of person who likes to shout out my personal issues from the rooftops but with my bipolar becoming public, I hope fellow sufferers will know it is completely controllable.”
Catherine added:
“I hope I can help remove any stigma attached to it, and that those who don’t have it under control will seek help with all that is available to treat it.”
She had also taken inpatient treatment for this illness.
