This link, written in late 1800s, contains an interesting perspective re: mental illness and spirituality. It is quite lengthy, but nonetheless a very good read.

My mom, now 76, has just been diagnosed as being bipolar. At first, we were all shocked by this news. She, apparently, is what's called unipolar that is she tends to have much more of the manic symptoms than the depressive ones. The way we found out was that she just would not stop driving, despite numerous accidents. That need to keep going, moving all the time (typical of mania)- even against any reasonable judgment is quite common with this condition.

Anyway, I have been searching for more natural, healing remedies for her, as well. I'm certain that there is a cure, as with all illnesses.

But, of course, it is the 'journey' that is ALL important.

I shall send you anything good that I find for him.
