About Us A Fascination For Life I plan to use this site to present various aspects of life that are of interest or concern to me. The first specific issue I will present is bipolar disorder. A Bipolar Liaison It is the intent of jeffnape.com to initiate discussions of issues related to bipolar disorder, especially employment barriers. Is there a model of more innovative organizational structures that allow adaptability and flexibility? And enough tolerance of nonconformity to allow a fresh perspective? What social obligations does society have to bipolar citizens? What economic obligations do employers and government agencies have to bipolar employees? It is understandable from an employer’s point of view that they “have to get the job done”. And the bipolar employee must be held accountable for his actions. But he must also be rewarded for his commitment to a task, even when the results of his efforts are insufficient to meet corporate expectations. Would you be interested in participating in discussions of these topics? "You" means everyone. Let me know if you would like to get involved, and your preference for communication. Feel free to contact me about how you would like to help. Jeff Nape There Is Hope Some of the content on this site paints a dismal picture for those affected by bipolar disorder. This is unavoidable since this is a serious illness. How can anyone make informed decisions about these issues, when few people understand the realities of bipolar disorder? But even though the descriptions presented here appear dismal, the outlook for the future can still be a bright one with proper diagnosis and treatment.
