Famous People with Bipolar

greek architecture


History is strewn with great people who were and are supposedly bipolar - from ancient time to the present.

Not only are there many creative and gifted individuals who were or are bipolar, many were major players in forming Western History as we know it.

You can focus your mind on such world conquerors as Alexander the Great and Napoleon who impacted world geography. In the 1920's and 1930's, the evil and bipolar Hitler gained much power and left his stamp on the Jewish Experience, for eternity. He met his match with the great bipolar English Statesman, Winston Churchill.

Our western way of thinking is influenced particularly by three Greek Philosophers - Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle, who ere and are rumored to be bipolar. So whether you are an idealist or realist, you are in great debt to bipolar men.

Aristotle was considered by many to be the Father of Science by many. We also owe a great deal in our thinking scientifically to the British thinker, Sir Isaac Newton, who was another genius bipolar.

If you are into drawing, painting, sculpture, and architecture, probably you idealize a master of all 4 -the magnificent Michelangelo. In the 1800's the Dutch impressionist, van Gogh not only created great paintings while bipolar, unfortunately ending his life in suicide, but so was his great French friend and fellow artist, Paul Gauguin. Pablo Picasso, who help invent Cubism, and Jackson Pollock, who invented

Abstract Expressionism, were two gifted 20th century bipolar artists. There were many others.

If you are into the beauty of word architecture, there are many gifted poets and writers. Whether you enjoy the poems of Keats, Shelly, Lord Byron, or Sylvia Plath, or such novels as Huckleberry Finn, by Mark Twain; The Sun also Rises. By Ernest Hemingway; or The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald; you are reading the works of bipolar artists. If you prefer the writings of Virginia Woolf, you are again reading the works of a genius with bipolar. Some say that F. Scott Fitzgerald wife from Montgomery, Alabama was also just as gifted, and happened also to be bipolar.

World news is important to many people, and the business maverick, Ted Turner brought news into your home 24 hours a day. Why yes, he is bipolar? Who say bipolar disorder can keep you from becoming a billionaire?

Perhaps Movies are a past time of yours. You can watch the beautiful 20th century icon, Marilyn Monroe

In Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, or Some Like it Hot. Another beautiful bipolar life cut short by suicide.
If you are a Robin Williams or Jim Carrey fan, you have numerous choices in what movies to watch.
These bipolar comic geniuses have portrayed many characters.

Now even the music icon and pop star, Britney Spears is rumored to be bipolar. Of course the list could go on and on, ad inifinitum. For, it's a bipolar world, after all.




August Holcombe is a baby boomer, who came of age in the late 60's and early 70's. I first became interested in mental illness in a sociology course at Auburn University in the late 60's after we visited a State Mental Hospital, a state's women's prison, and a state's men's prison. A girlfriend of mine, who happened to be a brilliant and gifted artist, committed suicide in 1982. I've had depression on and off since my late twenties.

An architect is a person who deals in design, design and quality control of the building. The word "architect" comes from the Latin "architectus" which derives from the Greek arkhitekton.

Her science is to resolve functional and technical buildings. Art architecture is a more specific component of the arts in general, which is more particularly because the real elements, useful to create and compose pictures plastic non figurative, essentially abstract, not so models mimic nature.

Architecture can not be compared with the surrounding nature only in that it is an artificial body implanted in a natural environment that must be harmonized both functionally and aesthetically.

Art is known is a conscious phenomenon, architecture, quality is attached to the cognitive and ontological. By the end of last century architecture was considered "a decoration of the structure" (John Ruskin), and in our century by Frank Lloyd Wright style architecture redefines its smooth integration of structures in nature, the most prominent exponent of organic architecture.

An architect is the person who actually translates human needs, design. An architect must be familiar with construction laws which necessarily must apply and be conformed. This degree of knowledge is necessary so that he or she should not overlook the basic needs and requirements and not create ambiguity or confusion. Architects must understand the different valid solutions proposed by the manufacturer or beneficiary so that he or she should choose the best way to do the building.

Other people are involved to a greater extent in the design and construction of a building, they are planners.

Architects design or make decisions affecting the safety and terms of the public. Architects are requirements to have a specialization or a documentary work to get license to practice this jobs, similar to other requests from other professions, the condition of having a specialization differ from country to country.
