term "bipolar affective" but in psychojargon,
I would guess it means simply bipolar - i.e.
manic depressive - two extreme affects - is
it good? NO! Though you may feel high during
manic states, and euphoric you inevitably
crash to the opposite which is pretty hedious,
like Hades :-)I hope you have not be dx'ed but if you have
there are very good drugs.Squiggles
