Many of the questions individuals diagnosed with Bipolar Affective Disorder
(Manic Depressive Illness) ask can only be answered by a qualified psychiatrist.
We are saddened to announce that Dr James Phelps will be leaving Bipolar
World at the end of June 2010.
It is with
humble gratitude that all of us thank him for being a part of Bipolar
World
as “Ask the Psychiatrist” for the last ten years.
Jim, we hope
that you can successfully “lighten the load” so you have more personal
time. You certainly deserve it.
Good luck in
all your future endeavours. We are going to miss you.
If any reader has any suggestions of
someone who might be interested in Dr. Phelps' position, please contact us at
