Are there other illnesses that go with Bipolar disorder? If so are there sites that discuss this. issue.? like it seems that Bi-polar disorder. wears the body out more rapidly than a normal person would. One time a long time ago someone diagnosed me with Chronic fatigue syndrome. IN the late 80s I was diagnosed with Bi-polar..(Hypo-mania)

:wave: Hi Caren!
The affective spectrum is a grouping of related psychiatric and medical disorders which may accompany bipolar, unipolar, and schizoaffective disorders at statistically higher rates than would normally be expected. These disorders are identified by a common positive response to the same types of pharmacologic treatments. They also aggregate strongly in families and may therefore share common heritable underlying physiologic anomalies.
Affective spectrum disorders include:
Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder
Bipolar disorder
Body dysmorphic disorder
Bulimia nervosa and other eating disorders
Cataplexy
Dysthymia
General anxiety disorder
Hypersexuality
Impulse-control disorders
Kleptomania
Migraine[citation needed]
Major Depressive Disorder
Narcolepsy[citation needed]
Obsessive-compulsive disorder
Panic disorder
Posttraumatic stress disorder
Premenstrual dysphoric disorder
Social phobia
The following may also be part of the spectrum accompanying affective disorders[citation needed].
Autism
Chronic pain
Intermittent explosive disorder
Pathological gambling
Personality disorder
Pyromania
Substance abuse and addiction (includes alcoholism)
Trichotillomania
Also, there are now studies linking heart disease[citation needed].
Please note that many of the terms above overlap. The generally accepted definition of these terms can be found in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM).

:) Happy Girl; That was very informative thank you! Even if I've read something in the past it's good to be refreshed-I forget so much.

Depending on the medications that you are taking, there is additional stress on the liver and other body organs.
