I saw that. I've already addressed that point with a Google URL that lists diseases that are impelled by psychosocial stress, but are nevertheless biological. I thought you would have clicked on it.
Is plaque psoriasis a psychological disease or a skin disease?
This the URL I posted to you before:
How do you interpret the results of this Google search? After surveying the literature cited, do you still have difficulties categorizing Bipolar Disorder as being a neurological disorder? If so, is it because, unlike the diseases listed by Google, Bipolar Disorder is often, but not always, precipitated by chronic psychological stress? Is the psychological stress itself Bipolar Disorder, or is it but one of many contributors to its etiology? How is it that the majority of people who experience the same amount of stress escape Bipolar Disorder?
The answers I continue to arrive at to the questions I asked lead me to categorize Bipolar Disorder as a condition of the nervous system - just as the practice of medicine recognizes psoriasis as a condition of the skin.

Some see things as they are and ask why.
I dream of things that never were and ask why not.The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.
