You are not fighting flesh and blood But spiritual powers in high places.
How does this blend in with your thoughts???

Yes this is a very sad ending to yet another creative soul. I have 3 college degrees, all in the health sciences, and have recently been dx with some gradation on the bipolar spectrum, etc. This man’s dx, clearly has schizophrenic overtones if not an out right dx. The “ploice” state that he was bipolar, etc. Who dx him ?, and how accurate was this? Running through the streets, maybe, durring a manic episode… running through the streets, upset about the war, and “paranoid “about aliens, the goverment, etc., come on! bipolar is broad, diffuse and difficult enough to dx w/ out people being in complete denial and or ignorance about the symptoms, etc. Sure there are shades of grey and dual or overlaping dx, but it sure looks like plain old paranoid schizophrenia to me…
thank you Gary G

The story about the millionaire software developer being found dead in Hawaii sounds very suspicious to me. I live in Colorado and we heard a lot of news about him while he was said to be missing. I did not buy his wife saying she was worried and concerned about him. She really did not appear to be telling the truth, at least she did not appear to be sincere, to me. They were saying he suffered from Bi-polar disorder and refused to take his medication and as a result, he went missing in Hawaii. He may have been bi-polar, and possibly was not taking his medication, but I am certain that is not the reason for his death. Someday, the truth will come out.

I am very sad to hear of someone with so much potiential dying. It said he was recently diagnosed with bipolar. My impression is that most bipolar disorder doesn’t just happen but that have triggering events that make what probably existed for a long time apparent. Various stresses and pressures can cause the symptoms to become manifest. My daughter was diagnosed w/bipolar disorder as a teenager but seems to be doing much better now. as a parent I hope it never is apparent again but would be nieve to think it is no longer something that she and I need to be aware of. My daughter lives in Boulder but neither she or I knew Steve Thomas I don’t think.

I must say it’s a very sad story, but people have to understand that not all the medication in the world can heal you, sometimes things will change in the body, but many times one has to be ready physically and mentally for what is happening in our lives. Our coping mechanism never taught us how to deal with the ups and downs of life, but as we grow we learn how to keep occupied and exercise to keep our bodies and minds functioning in the right way, and also keep the company of friends that will keep us happy and joyous, also read good books listen to good music. all these things will keep us with a positive attitude, so we would not have to be so dependent on the drugs. Especially when when you live in a drug society.

I have a son who is 22 who has Bi-Polar Disorder but has never exhibited any psychotic behavior. However, my Mom’s oldest sister had paranoid schizophrenia. I wonder if someone with untreated Bi-Polar is more likely to experience say, a psychotic episode, than someone with proper treatment. We have friends who have a son who had a psychotic episode following several nights without sleep during final exams at college. He has been diagnosed with Bi-Polar Disorder and is now on medication to treat it. His mom’s sister had Bi-Polar but has since killed her self.
