race

[high maintenence]

Bob was talking about how bipolar disorder is an equal opportunity illness, and I've never heard of anyone other than a white person with the illness, so I just wondered what race all of you are.

[Phyllis]

I'm as white as you can get. 
And come to think of it, I only know of Caucasians having this as well.

[Cathy]

I've never heard of any non-white person havign Bipolar either. Incidentally I'm white, Irish heritage.

[elwood]

I'm Caucasian also, I think I will ask my pdoc what most of his patients are,if he will tell.
