I also found another form of research that had been successful in determining the various symptoms that are displayed with Bipolar disorder and other mental disorders like schizophrenia. This study was slated to discover if one mental issue is linked to the other. For example, schizophrenia is an unremitting mental issue that affects the way a person makes a decision; this disease has an effect on the behavior, as well as delusions and hallucinations.
