Resigned,.... Bipolar...

We've dealt with our bipolar DIL for years now, meds, if sorted out. they can deal with it, but only work a few years apparently, then a re-evaluation, rest, it's been messy, suicidal, to riding high... Got her degree, working on her Master, but we don't think she can keep it together that long.. And of course, poor or no medical insurance, at least now a basic coverage, but there's no decent mental health facility in this county, so they've checked her into another county that manages to skirt the rules, but I'm still amazed my son's company has contended with his absenteeism, but they stepped in covered expenses over and above insurance, so some hope...

'Tis not a simple world... brain maladies an extremely complex issue, worse when the patient is smart, very smart, sometimes knows more than those treating them, but objectivity is lost along the way...

CHICAGO (AP) — Jesse Jackson Jr.'s resignation from Congress might end his once-promising political career but it doesn't mark the end of troubles for the civil rights icon's son.

Just two weeks after voters re-elected him to a ninth full term, Jackson on Wednesday sent his resignation letter to House Speaker John Boehner, citing his ongoing treatment for bipolar disorder and admitting "my share of mistakes" while confirming publically for the first time that he's under a federal probe and cooperating with investigators.

The federal investigation is reportedly into possible misuse of campaign funds, but Jackson was also under a House Ethics Committee investigation over dealings with imprisoned ex-Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, but it was unclear how the committee would proceed with the resignation. The committee could still decide to release a final report with their findings, but they no longer have the power to punish him.
