Hi everyone, I'm a newbie!

[P. Connell]

I'm making the rounds on this BB to introduce myself .

I am 42 years of age and have bipolar disorder, and have been in total remission now for eight years. My teenage son has tourette syndrome and OCD.

I'm a voluntary special education advocate for children with neurological disabilities, and I am also a voluntary advocate for bipolar children and adults. In the past I have done admin work for the About.com network, hosting medication webchat for folks with bipolar disorder. I've studied psychiatric pharmacology as an interest for nearly ten years. I work for our local police dept.

Looking forward to meeting many of you!
