1. Argument beginning of manic attack?

Hello, my name is Lynda. I'm 28 and I hate my mother. I really can't stand her. I want nothing to do with her. She has hurt me and helped ruin my life. My question to you is: if I go on without her, can I make it? Can I do without her? Dear Lynda, If you have to ask, the answer is clear. No, you can't. You need her in your life at least once in a while, in some way, on some terms. (Maybe the real question is: can she do without you?) Dr. Bradt
I hate the person I am when I am on medication. My family hates me when I am not. Is it worth it to give up my self for a wife who has lied and cheated and a mother and father I don't trust? Mike Dear Mike, You are taking the wrong medication(s). Please, get your psychiatrist to change them. If your psychiatrist tries to tell you that you're on the right medication(s), your best bet is to change psychiatrists. There are psychotropic medications that don't compromise your personality or make you into the kind of person you don't want to be. Dr. Bradt
Q. I'm a 23-year-old woman in her last year of college. I have found the man of my dreams, and he truly is my best friend and lover. He asked me to move in with him after I graduate, and after some thought, I agreed. There are guns in my boyfriend's house. He has to have them for part of his job and, also, he hunts. But I won't go near them. I hate guns. Three days ago while staying over at my boyfriend's house, I woke up out of a sound sleep thinking about guns. I was laying in bed thinking about putting the gun to my boyfriend's back! I would never ever do a thing like that or hurt any living creature. I was so horrified by that thought that I was physically nauseous. If I picked up a gun and killed my boyfriend, my happiness is over and my security is gone, and it would be all my fault. I don't trust myself any more. I've been known to have panic attacks in the past, but after I met my boyfriend my panic attacks went away. I feel these attacks are a huge weakness for me and I'm embarrassed by them, so I haven't told him about them. Michele A. Michele, First, please say these sentences to yourself any time you feel scared or horrified by guns (or anything else): IT'S NOT MY FAULT! THERE'S ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG WITH ME! You have an illness, a panic disorder, and disorders like this are liars. They try to convince you that there's something wrong with you and, actually, the disorders are to blame, not you. Think about it. It's the people who use guns to kill people and start wars who have something wrong with them, not you. The panic disorder is lying to you, trying to convince you that you might ever kill somebody. There's no way! Second, tell your boyfriend about your occasional panic attacks right away. When you do this, you'll be telling the disorder, "Hah! I'm not afraid of you! You can't embarrass me any more!" Stand up to that liar, and watch what happens to it! Third, see a psychiatrist and get some more meds. There's no shame in taking meds. I take meds, and I'm a successful psychologist. Also, ask your boyfriend if he'd like to come along with you for therapy. I think it would be a good idea because you probably have some underlying issues (problems you can't see without a counselor's help) and these issues probably involve your boyfriend a little bit. Remember, the disorder is a liar. You are a good person. (Try reading http://www.willigocrazy.org/Ch8f01.htm
I have an ex-husband who I believe to have bi-polar disorder or some type of mania. I left him 3 years ago because he was verbally abusive. I am happily remarried -- to a wonderful, loving man, and together we raise my two small children 50% of the time. My ex-husband has them the other 50% of the time, and he tells them "what a bad man Bill is." He sends me abusive mail, leaves harassing messages, and calls me to get together with him to discuss the fact that my current husband is "abusing" my children. He also assures me that my children "hate" my new husband. He is extremely vicious about this. My children in fact have a wonderful relationship with my husband, despite the fact that their father is promoting this hatred. What is the appropriate way to deal with my ex? I usually cannot get a word in edgewise when he calls and end up hanging up to free myself from his anger and bullying. What do I say when he says something irrational? How can I help him see that we do not wish to hurt him and simply want to raise the children in peace? T. Dear T., Bullies are hard for me to deal with too. I've thought about bullies a lot and even written a story about how to handle them. http://www.willigocrazy.org/Ch08a16.htm I'll try to answer your questions but, please, remember that I'm just guessing as well: What do I say when he says something irrational? Nothing. How can I help him see that we do not wish to hurt him and simply want to raise the children in peace? You can't. What is the appropriate way to deal with my ex? Try doing what the woman in the story http://www.willigocrazy.org/Ch08a16.htm did: ignore him (by not answering his calls) and just go on. Whatever you do, don't show fear! Act as if he doesn't bother you at all. (Also, you could ask your kids for advice. You'd be surprised how much kids can help!) Dr. Bradt
I have been going out with my girlfriend for about half a year now. We have a very good friend whom I will call Bob. Recently, Bob told my girlfriend that he likes her and that it makes him very sad to see us together. Because of this, Bob does not want to hang out with us any more. This puts my girlfriend with a choice: either break up with me, or continue going out with me and having Bob be hurt. This is a very hard decision for her because we have been very happy together and it would hurt her to break up with me. But if she chooses to continue to go out with me, Bob will be hurt and she would feel really bad about that too. She has been VERY depressed about this lately. She is crying and cutting herself, and she has said she wants to die. I am in DESPERATE need of help here. Based on the way she has been lately, I am scared that my girlfriend might commit suicide. Reese Dear Reese, Your girlfriend’s dilemma is not serious enough to make her depressed and suicidal. There has to be something else going on. She could be suffering from a chemical imbalance that’s making her depressed. (A chemical imbalance can make problems seem bigger than they really are.) Or there could be an issue between the two of you that you don’t know about. Please do whatever you have to do to find out what the underlying problem is. Dr. Bradt
I think I may have Bipolar Disorder. I'm wondering how should I go about talking to a psychiatrist about it, to run some tests. I don't want people to start thinking I'm crazy or weird. I told my mom I wanted to take some tests, but she just said I'm being silly and dismissed it. Is there any way to take these tests without her knowing? I'd appreciate the help. Jen Dear Jen, There are no tests that diagnose bipolar disorder. There are some quizzes on the net, but they're not very reliable. Your answers to those quizzes only tell you whether or not you should see a psychiatrist, not whether or not you are bipolar. Only seeing a psychiatrist in person can tell you if you have the disorder or not. To find a psychiatrist, you might want to talk to your school counselor. People won't think you're crazy or weird because they won't find out about it. School counselors and psychiatrists are required by law to keep their mouths shut. Dr. Bradt
Q. My son is 8 1/2. Mark, the psychiatrist we are currently seeing, told us that he has schizoaffective disorder. The medication he prescribed is a very new drug called Aripiprazole (Abilify). But I researched it and found out that this drug is not approved for children. So I tapered his dose quickly down to nothing. Amazingly (to me anyway), for the next four days of no meds he did just as well at school. At our next appointment with Mark, he strongly encouraged me to re-start the Abilify. But I'm not sure that schizoaffective disorder is the correct diagnosis for my son. Mark told me that if you start giving a schizophrenic person anti-psychotic drugs as soon as symptoms are suspected, you can probably stop the progression of the disorder. He also told me that when I take my son off meds, I'm causing him to relapse and it will be harder to "bring him back". So I'm terrified. I don't know if I'm hurting my son by giving him these meds or if I'll be hurting him to keep him off them. I almost feel like Mark is using my son as a guinea pig. And when Mark senses my anxiety or when I question him about things I've read he tells me I shouldn't take him off instead of trying to remove my fears. I know I have the final say, but I truly don't know the right thing to do. Carly Dear Carly, It's true that if you start giving a schizophrenic person anti-psychotic drugs as soon as symptoms are correctly diagnosed, you can sometimes stop the progression of the disorder. But is your son's diagnosis correct? You want to be pretty sure because, if you give a person the wrong psychotropic drug for a long period, you can cause harm. You do have time. It would be a good idea to check with a second psychiatrist, do all the research you want to do, and watch your son's behavior a little longer before making important medication decisions. I suggest that you not trust any psychiatrist who seems to be pressuring you to start your son on a certain medication immediately or who says or does anything that scares you. If Mark were doing his job right, you wouldn't be terrified. I believe that the word "relapse" only applies when a medication has clearly been working effectively for at least a few months. Don't let Mark use that word to scare you. You are very smart to do research and think through your decisions. Don't let anybody, even a psychiatrist, imply that you aren't! Dr. Bradt
Q. Sadly, bipolars have a tendency to commit suicide or think of it. Is there also a tendency for them to commit homicide or think of it? Are people in the midst of a manic episode generally safe to be around? John A. John, Research shows that bipolars are only slightly more likely than the general population to commit violent crimes. If prejudiced people didn’t constantly persecute bipolars, I’ll bet you all the money in my wallet that bipolars would be slightly LESS likely than the general population to commit violent crimes. I haven’t seen any research on how much bipolars think about committing violent crimes. And, to answer your last question, people in the midst of manic episodes are generally safe to be around. Dr. Bradt
Q. I have an 11-year-old girl who is acting out both sexually and aggressively. She has bipolar disorder, and I would like to know how to discipline her. I don’t want to punish her for what she cannot help, but her behavior could result in her getting harmed some day, and I will not always be able to see everything she does. I love my child. Please help me! Thanks, Sunny A. Sunny, It would take a whole book to answer your question! You might consider enrolling in a child-rearing course at a local college or talking to a counselor, or reading child-care books. But I can tell you two things: 1. Raising a bipolar child requires the same skills as raising any child. 2. Don’t punish her for her bad behaviors until you must, that is, until you ’ve tried rewarding her for her good behaviors. (You've probably done that already, but maybe you can think of even more good behaviors to reward.) Good luck, Dr. Bradt
Q. Who is best to diagnose bipolar disorder, a psychologist or psychiatrist? Or are they the same? Julie A. Dear Julie, It takes a psychiatrist to diagnose bipolar disorder. I’m a psychologist, and I haven’t been trained to diagnose or treat BD. People often ask me if so-and-so has BD or which meds are best for people who have already been diagnosed with BD, and I can’t help them. I send them to a psychiatrist. Dr. Bradt
Q. My girlfriend and I are so close that we are discussing marriage and starting a family, and I am starting to get frightened that she has bipolar disorder. Georgette shows many of the symptoms that are listed in diagnosing this disorder. She has frequent mood swings. She will be fine one moment, and then suddenly get VERY depressed and tell me she is giving up on herself. Basically, anything that I have ever read on a website that discusses bipolar symptoms I have seen in her. When she goes through these depressive times, it is really starting to wear on me. I feel bad not only for her, but for myself as well. I have thought about mentioning it to her, but never have for fear of triggering something or making her want to leave me. Can you please offer any advice on what I should do? Patrick A. Patrick, I’m glad you’re smart enough not to walk up to Georgette and say, “You have bipolar disorder.” Only a psychiatrist can diagnose BD. Which matters more to you: (1) whether Georgette’s label or diagnosis is officially “bipolar disorder,” or (2) how she treats you? Will you please give this some thought? I hope that you will choose (2), because nobody can do anything about (1). If it’s (2), you can go to a counselor who will help you figure out what’s really going on between the two of you and whether you can establish a happy, permanent relationship. (If the counselor happens to see evidence of some kind of mental illness [in either one of you], the counselor will know what to do.) Dr. Bradt
Q. I was recently diagnosed with bipolar disorder II. (I don't experience mania, but I cycle through depression and normal moods.) I am currently taking 1000mg. Depakote ER a day. My biggest fear of all is having to rely on a medicine and not be able to function without it. Will I have to take this medicine the rest of my life, or will I be able to stop taking it after some time of being better? Matt A. Dear Matt, You probably won't have to take Depakote for the rest of your life. People's needs change, and some day you may benefit from changing your meds. Or a medicine may be invented that works better for you than Depakote. Your concern is a common one among bipolars. But will you please give it some thought? Is taking a given medicine for the rest of your life really something to be afraid of? There are plenty of medicines that people take on a long-range basis, e.g., calcium for bones and insulin for diabetes. Are you thinking that, as long as you're taking Depakote, you're still "sick"? I disagree. I've been taking psychotropic meds for 13 years, and that doesn't make me "sick". I know that, if I stopped taking my meds, my mood swings would start up again, but that doesn't change the fact that I'm a successful psychologist with lots of friends, not some "sick" person. Will you please take the time to read http://www.willigocrazy.org/Ch05a.htm (Sick of the "Sick" Label)? And please don't think of your meds as pills for a "sick" person. Think of them as "happiness insurance". As long as you keep taking them, you don't have to worry about the chemicals in your brain getting imbalanced and screwing up your life. Dr. Bradt
Q. My father and sister seem to think that I've had bipolar disorder II quite long enough, thank you. My sister, especially, is condescending and rude to me whenever I talk about my disease. Because of this, I am no longer on speaking terms with either of them because they cause me too much anxiety and depression. They are both smart, well-educated people. Is this common among family members or people close to the patient, to deny that the patient is sick? A. Dear Sarah, Yes, it's common. A lot of our families have trouble figuring out how to treat us bipolars. I finally started missing my family and decided to go back. Now I just don't talk to them about my bipolar disorder. Although I know they could benefit from learning more about it, it's just not worth the hassle and, anyway, it's their loss. Dr. Bradt
Q. I don't have any friends at all. Is it OK if I draw the imaginary face of 2 characters and make them my friends? I have learned cartooning. Is it OK if I write emails to those 2 characters and also write email replies from them to me? The girl to whom I am engaged is 12 years old. Her parents said they will let us marry after 4 years. 'Till then I am all alone. Zubair No, Zubair, it's not OK. This is very important: getting married is too late to start making friends. You need to find men your age to be your friends right now. One very good place to find friends is in school. Dr. Bradt
Q. My boyfriend has been diagnosed with 'mild' bipolar disorder. He attempted suicide 3 years ago. His brother is an alcoholic. He is now 30 and an artist. My question is this: He believes he can control his emotions, feelings and moods because he now understands what motivates/scares him. He does not think drugs are necessary. He believes he is not genetically bipolar but that his moods result from his thoughts. Gina Dear Gina, Both facts are true. Bipolar disorder is genetic, and moods result from thoughts. How is this possible? Simple! Bipolar disorder -> thoughts -> moods. Your boyfriend sounds very intelligent. He understands that pills don't just take care of everything, that understanding and changing your thought patterns is a crucial component of recovery. One more fact: sometimes you need both understanding and control of your own thoughts AND a few pills. Dr. Bradt
Q. My daughter (16) has a male friend (17) who was diagnosed bipolar about a year ago. He has moved out of his home and into a home where there is little to no supervision, drugs available all the time, no rules, and no medication to treat his disorder. The boy has his ups and downs and when down causes a lot of commotion. My daughter feels she can save him. How can I convince my child that until he gets off drugs and seeks help we or she can't help him? I have asked her to look into a support group for herself where she may be able to get ideas as to what to do or what to expect. Any ideas will be greatly appreciated. Jan Dear Jan, You're already doing the right things. He is the only one who can kick his drug problem. He is the only one who can recover from bipolar disorder. And the support group is an excellent idea. Now there's only one thing left for you to do. Sit back, take a deep breath, and let it all go! Dr. Bradt
Q. I am looking for the link between childhood abuse and bipolar disorder. Where can I find information regarding abuse and the effects it has in reference to bipolar disorder? Athena Dear Athena, There's no direct link between childhood abuse and bipolar disorder, but childhood abuse often causes PTSD, and PTSD often occurs (co-exists) with bipolar disorder. Also, many of the same treatments are effective for both bipolar disorder and PTSD. I would look for any reliable information on treating childhood abuse or PTSD, whether or not the source mentions bipolar disorder. Dr. Bradt
Q. Hi! My name is Breanne and I'm from Missouri. I am 22 years old and I have bipolar disorder. I was wondering if there is a bipolar conference? Breanne, Yes, there is. The Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance is having their annual convention in August. Click on http://www.dbsalliance.org Dr. Bradt
Q. I'm an actor about to play a young father who has bipolar disorder. There is a scene where I can't find my lithium and I'm starting to go crazy. Can you describe to me some of the feelings that I might have as a result of not having my lithium, e.g., irritability, panic, etc.? Robert Robert, Describing feelings is pretty tough but I can describe, and have described, the accompanying thoughts - on my website. Click on http://www.willigocrazy.org/stories.htm and read Transition and Bipolar Zombie. Then read L.A. Woman, because a bipolar deprived of medication will have a couple of positive thoughts too. What I'm saying is that we'll be confused about whether we're happy or sad, and our behavior might be contradictory at times. Dr. Bradt
Q. I just have some general questions about adult thumb sucking. I have done many searches on the computer and in book stores trying to find information on the subject. I thought you, as a psychologist, may have more information about where I may find this information. Perhaps you know the right terminology for me to look under. I am an adult thumb sucker myself and thanks to a group on the web I have many new friends that are also thumb suckers. I would be interested to hear some theories about it... see if there is anything other than, "it is a regressive behavior," and, “there must have been some childhood trauma that caused it.” Marian Dear Marian, The negative theories you mentioned are pretty much the party line, because Sigmund Freud was just about the only psychologist who studied thumb sucking. As you undoubtedly know from your net searches, Freud believed that thumb sucking, along with alcohol abuse, drug abuse, smoking, etc., are alternate ways of getting sexual gratification. I believe that thumb sucking isn’t much more than a convenient way to calm yourself down when you’re under stress. And it sure beats drug and alcohol abuse. Dr. Bradt
Q. Doc, is there anything good about being bipolar? Andrew Dear Andrew, Yes, there is. I wrote a whole website, http://www.willigocrazy.org, to tell bipolars, “Yes, we have a disorder but, mostly, we’re great people!” Specifically, click on http://www.willigocrazy.org/Ch05a.htm for a list of good traits bipolars tend to have. Dr. Bradt
Q. I used to have a friend who was a really great guy. OK, so he got depressed sometimes and cut his arms just to see them bleed, but he didn’t mind. And when he was manic, he was a lot of fun. Then he was diagnosed bipolar and forced to take four different meds, and his whole personality changed. He was born both Jekyll/Mr. Hyde — he was unique — and the meds changed him into boring, mild-mannered, Jekyll. He wasn’t manic or depressed any more; he just felt nothing at all. He lost his personality, and he couldn’t stand it, so he killed himself. Sam A. Dear Sam, I won’t lie to you. For the first few months that you take them, many (not all, and certainly not Trileptal) bipolar meds change you to what is often called a "zombie"; they make you slow and groggy. What's worse, before your mood swings abate, you often go through a temporary depression. During this period, many bipolars become (falsely) convinced that they are in a state that's neither manic nor depressed, that they "feel nothing". They're being illogical because: 1. nobody can "feel nothing", at least not for long. They do feel something. 2. If you so seriously dislike how you feel that you would rather die, you're depressed. Convictions that you "feel nothing" or that you have lost your personality are very common symptoms of depression. Also, the feeling that you will never be yourself again, that everything is hopeless (unless you go off your meds or whatever) is a common depressive symptom. Then the temporary depression lifts, and you're REALLY in a state that's neither manic nor depressed. I've been there. You're so surprised! "Of course!" I said. "I should have known that not being manic any more doesn't mean not being happy or funny or 'crazy' any more." Once the pills stop making you groggy and depressed, you're really glad you're taking them, even if you were forced to at the beginning. Your friend was like Richard Cory, the character in the Beatles song, who "blew his mind out in a car. He didn't notice that the lights had changed." Dr. Bradt
Q. My boyfriend is bipolar. He keeps talking about quitting his meds, and I keep trying to tell him no. How can I keep him on them? Also, we just got engaged. What will be the hardest thing about being in a relationship with him being bipolar? Tina A. Dear Tina, To keep your boyfriend on his meds, you have to tell him that you won’t marry him unless he’s going to stay on his meds forever — and then you have to follow through. The hardest thing about being in a relationship with him? If he’s on his meds, the hardest thing will be keeping him on them. If he goes off his meds, everything will be hard. Dr. Bradt
Q. I am 19 and I have trouble getting into relationships with guys. When I am interested in a guy, I chase after him. But once I have him I no longer want anything to do with him. It’s almost like I’m scared of intimacy. When I don’t have a guy that likes me, I want one, but when I do, I don’t want him. Katrina A. Dear Katrina, You and a lot of other people, most of whom are not mental-health consumers! There’s nothing wrong with you. Relationships are tough. Hold on, and keep your eyes open for a guy who is chasing you. I think they’re the best kind. Dr. Bradt
Q. There is a lot of information about support groups and treatments on mood disorders and bipolar disorder i was just wondering what exactly is it I have been looking and looking but nothing can give me a clear answer that I can understand Nicole A. Dear Nicole, I think you’ve hit on a good point. I get one answer from one site, and another site says the opposite thing. Sometimes I do get good, accurate information (especially from the Bipolar World site) but all the details make my head swim. Bipolar disorder is part of human behavior, and nobody can completely understand or predict human behavior. That’s why I developed my site, http://www.willigocrazy.org. It’s more inspirational than informational. I give a few BRIEF tips about how to cope with bipolar disorder, teeth-grinding, hiccups, etc., but I use most of the site to remind bipolars what great people we are and that we don’t deserve the prejudice against us. The rest of the site is inspirational stories I wrote for my friends, mental-health consumers. I think it’s more important to love ourselves and others than to know every detail about mental illness. Dr. Bradt
Q. I currently am on lithium and lamictal. These are my 6th and 7th medications. I am growing increasingly worried that there is no "wonder" drug out there for me. The meds have put my psyche and body through a lot in the past year and a half. Is it normal to go through a lot of meds until an effective one is found? Vanessa Dear Vanessa, Yes, it is normal. I’ve known people who had to go through even more meds than seven. When they finally found the right meds, they were really glad they kept trying. Dr. Bradt Q. I've been exercising like a fiend for about a month now, and I haven't lost any weight. (I have watched my diet.) I have been burning about 1000 calories a day, biking. The books say that 7000 calories a week should translate to a 2 lb. loss. While it's true I haven't lost any weight, and you do say that exercise is not what makes people lose weight, I still don't understand. Where have I gone wrong? Sherry A. Dear Sherry, Maybe you haven’t gone wrong at all. The exercise may be building up your muscles. Muscles weigh more than fat, so the increase in weight could be good, not bad. Instead of measuring your progress by weighing yourself, go to a gym and have them test you. If you’re watching your diet really well, the test results will be good news. By the way, exercising like a fiend can burn off weight, just not as much weight as the books say. Exercise works better for keeping weight off than for losing weight. I admire your will power. Keep it up! Dr. Bradt Q. I'm a 17-year-old male (will be 18 soon) and I seriously want to date this girl I've known for about a year now. We've been kinda getting into arguments because I can't seem to make up my mind about going out with her. I'm not sure if it will or would be OK for me to go out with a bipolar girl, though it seems that nothing is wrong with her. She seems perfectly fine to me but, nonetheless, she is diagnosed with bipolar disorder. What suggestion can you give me on making this decision? I really need some advice. Unknown A. Dear Unknown, There’s no such thing as a bipolar girl, or bipolar man, woman, or child. There are only people who happen to have been born with the bipolar complex, which consists of both good and bad traits (see http://www.willigocrazy.org/Ch05a.htm), and all human beings have both good and bad traits. You're thinking of going out with her, not marrying her, right? What are you afraid of? Dr. Bradt Q. Hello, my name is Meg and I have a serious question. I have this really close friend who means the world to me, but she doesn’t know how to react when I have my manic episodes. I don’t know what to tell her. When I’m manic, should she ignore me? What is the best thing for my friend to do? A. Dear Meg, Look into your heart and see what you WANT your friend to do when you’re manic. Would you like it if she ignored you? If she yelled at you? If she just sat quietly with you for a while? If you would like for you to tell you something, what would you like her to say? It sounds as if she’s such a good friend that she’s giving you a chance to ask for whatever you want. Take it! Q. My friend swears that in psych class she was taught that depression is a lack of feeling altogether and that it has nothing at all to do with sadness. She believes she's not depressed because she feels sadness, and that’s a feeling. According to her, she’s only depressed when she feels nothing at all. Is this true? Chad A. Dear Chad, When you’re depressed you can feel: 1. sadness 2. anger 3. fear 4. any combination of the above 5. nothing at all You can feel sadness one minute, anger the next, fear the next, and nothing the next. You can even feel sad and angry, or afraid and angry, at the same time. And all those feelings can burn you out and make you stop feeling anything. Dr. Bradt Q. Hello, Doctor. My husband was just diagnosed with bipolar disorder. I just gave birth to twin boys, and he took it out on them, so I left. Well, he is pretty bad off, and I am having a really hard time dealing with this. I was wondering if you could give me just some details about bipolar disorder. What can I do to deal with this the best way possible for the sake of my children? I only know a little bit about the disease, so any advice and facts about it you can give me would be very helpful. Thank you for your time. Pam A. Dear Pam, I’m going to refer you to my website. You can get information on bipolar disorder at http://www.willigocrazy.org/Ch02.htm http://www.willigocrazy.org/Ch05a.htm and http://www.willigocrazy.org/Ch05c.htm . After you have read these pages, you might want to go to http://www.willigocrazy.org/Ch04.htm where there are links to other Bipolar Disorder sites. Dr. Bradt
