I agree this is an important Category, but I advise caution in placing a person in it. To formally label someone as suffering from bipolar disorder in an encyclopedia is not something to be done casually, or, certainly not without a factual basis. A person can exhibit manic and/or depressive behaviors without having the formal diagnosis of bipolar. In short, just be sure your sources are objective, scientific and reliable.

I'd like to see a page listing the people that have manic seeming personalities yet are undocumented (i.e., the Jim Carreys and so on of hte world).—Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.135.219.242 (talk • contribs)

Unlikely. It would violate WP:NPOV, WP:NOR, and WP:BIO. Three strikes.Doczilla 08:08, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
