| • | This is a list of people accompanied by verifiable source citations associating them with bipolar disorder. This list includes only a) deceased persons and b) living persons who have been frank about their condition. It does not include speculation about status of living people who have not publically stated themselves to have bipolar disorder.
Many of the older cases are speculations based on their biographies rather than an actual medical diagnosis, and in many cases are not widely accepted by historians, biographers or physicians.
Many famous people are believed to have been affected by bipolar disorder, (formerly known as manic depression), based on evidence in their own writings and contemporaneous accounts by those who knew them. It is often suggested that genius (or, at least, creative talent) and mental disorder are linked as discussed by Kay Redfield Jamison in Touched with Fire, though many of the diagnoses in that book are made by Jamison herself.
