Hi,
I wanted to let the board members know that we have separated the Bipolar Disorder section on RemedyFind into the specific types of Bipolar Disorder.A little background. Remedyfind is a free and unbiased site (not sponsored by any drug companies etc.) that lets individuals rate the effectiveness of the treatments they have used for specific health conditions. I started it 5 years ago to try to find help with treatments for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (which I’ve had for some 20 years.) After doing the CFS section I realized the same approach could also work for other chronic health conditions, and so the site has now grown to cover some 75 conditions and has some 100,000 members and newsletter subscribers.
Recently we broke up the single Bipolar Disorder section into the individual types. Here are the different sections -
Bipolar I Disorder
http://www.remedyfind.com/hc-bipolar1-disorder.aspBipolar II Disorder
http://www.remedyfind.com/hc-bipolar.aspBipolar Disorder NOS
http://www.remedyfind.com/hc-bipolar-disorder-nos.aspCyclothymic Disorder
http://www.remedyfind.com/hc-cyclothymic-disorder.aspObviously everyone is different, and what works for one person won’t necessarily work for another, but my hope is that certain trends might show themselves over time, and after hundreds or thousands of patient ratings. In the future we will be adding features that allow users to view ratings according to specific diagnoses and subtypes, as well as according to gender, age etc.. In the meantime, members say that it is simply helpful to hear other patient accounts of what has, or hasn’t, worked for them.
We’d be honored by any treatment experiences you care to share – good, bad or ugly! RemedyFind is free and members can be as anonymous as they would like - you choose your own member name and your contact information is not shared with anyone.
All the best,
Brett Hodges
