Dear Victorious,
My sister supposedly has bi-polar disorder and has had it for a number of years. I've read up on it but frankly it seems like a bunch of psycho-junk. Is it a real disease - or an emotional cop-out?

Dear Sidney,
Based on your last phrase, I can guess what you think. So I wonder why you're asking me. Bi-polar is a legitimate diagnosis in the health care community. And I'm not qualified to debate that. However, I do suspect that its diagnosis could be more common than the actual malady is. I also believe that people can learn to overcome it or learn to compensate for it.
If you're asking about the spiritual dimension of a bi-polar diagnosis, I agree that there probably is one in many of the cases. It could be a case of demonic influence. It could be a case of untrained discernment. It could be a matter of immaturity. There are many possibilities. My core belief on the issue is that Jesus can overcome anything. I have yet to see someone acting out in their bi-polar disorder and submitted to Jesus Christ at the same time.
