Why should I avoid alcohol and drugs if I have a bipolar disorder?

Alcohol or substance abuse complicates diagnosis and treatment, and therefore should be addressed if you or anyone around you thinks you may have a problem in this area. Because alcohol and drugs influence mood, anyone who has bipolar disorder should avoid using any illicit drugs and minimize or eliminate alcohol use. If you've already been diagnosed and are on medications for bipolar disorder, you'll find that most, if not all, of your medications caution against using alcohol while taking these medications because of the possibility of dangerous interactions and interference with their effectiveness.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
