Bi-polar disorder manifests itself in many ways with very serious and sometimes fatal consequences. Her family and friends asked us to take this opportunity to encourage the entire ISU community to further their understanding of this disorder (various resources are available online) and to express compassion for our fellow employees, and our fellow employee's loved ones who manage and at times suffer its many forms.

If you, a loved one or co-worker experience or exhibit chronic mood swings, depression, manic-depression, illogical financial or compulsive behaviors, please seek guidance from a university-contracted or similar professional care giver. If you or a loved one are under the care of a physician for bi-polar disorder, a bi-polar-related issue, or hormone-replacement therapy, please share details of your care with your loved ones, and under no circumstances elect to deviate from physician-prescribed treatment. Be sure to share any details of medication or medication-dosage changes with those closest to you who can monitor your behavior and in an emergency contact your professional care-giver.
