It may well be that my bipolar disorder was only a manifestation of limbic ADD. (My brainworks have, after all, been unresponsive to seven different pharmacological treatments during the period of the last five years).

> The limbic system lies near the center of the brain. It is about the size of a walnut. This is the part of the brain that sets a person's emotional tone or how positive or negative you are.

> The limbic system also affects motivation and drive. It helps get you going in the morning and
> encourages you to move throughout the day. It controls the sleep and appetite cycles of the body. It affects the bonding mechanism that enables you to connect with other people on a social level; your ability to do this successfully in turn influences your moods.

> Limbic ADD occurs when the limbic system of the brain is overactive. It may also look like
> depression. It is very important to differentiate limbic ADD from clinical depression. This is best done by evaluating symptoms over time
