Hi there! So I worked on the introduction of this article. I added some significant historical figures and some interesting facts. If there is anything that needs to be changed or edited, please let me know. The main source I used was: Krans, B., & Cherney, K. (2016, January 28). The History of Bipolar Disorder.

I have now added some edition of each of these works to either the References list of the Further reading section of this article. Of course, I'm sure they have additional content that could be added to this article as well. Daask (talk) 15:03, 2 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
