Bipolar disorder or manic-depressive disorder is characterized as a psychiatric diagnosis describing a set of  categorical mood disorders manifesting the presence of more than a  single episode of abnormal elevated energy levels, including cognition  and mood which sometimes includes deep mental depression.

When  a person's mood becomes elevated, this is clinically called, mania or  if milder it is called, hypomania,; meaning people experiencing ' mood  mania' may also often become extremely depressed. Their depressed  symptoms are usually manifest in a mixed episode featuring mania and  depression.

Such episodes, are usually separated by  periods of a "normal" mood. However, most people experiencing depression  and mania in which both characteristics rapidly alternate; this is  known as, rapid cycling. in rapid cycling,  extreme manic episodes may  lead to other psychotic symptoms such as delusions and hallucinations.

This  leads us to the primary question of my essay which is whether, Donald  Trump, hopeful Republican candidate wanting to become the next United  States President after Barack Obama, is manic depressive?

Personally,  I have never heard much until lately with the entire  Birther thing  hanging out all over the nightly news media, of what, Donald Trump, says.  However, listening to him now for a little over two weeks now brings me to  the sad conclusion, he must be mentally.

Moreover, Donald Trump  DID not exactly " build" himself a multi-billion dollar real estate  empire in the sense he wants us all to think. First and foremost, Donald  Trump, inherited ALL his money from his father; he did not make his billions at all by himself like entrepreneurs do.

Once he inherited the billions (his money)  and real estate his father  left him when he died, Donald Trump, then very simply merely coined himseld an " empire" and named it after himself calling it, "  Trump Empire."

This is,  much different than a poverty stricken homeless person working their way  up to the top as a CEO of a boardroom from a Salvation Army shelter!

Furthermore,  Donald Trump seems to suffer from a myriad 0f self-centered delusions.  Trump wrongly and strongly believes that he is the center of everything  to the sad and ironic point that he even personally made , United States  President Barack Obama, into manifesting the long form of his intimate  Birth Certificate from Hawaii!

I don't know about a you,  but after further listening to the manner in which , Donald Trump. would  throw international diplomacy into the trashcan, and then in his own  words proceed to "steal and take" all the oil in the Middle East and  Lybia for America's self, one must at least wonder for a  minute  whether, Donald trump is sane!

Sane or not, would you  trust this great country , America, in the hands of , Donald Trump at  its' helm? I don't know about you  but as for myself, the answer is  strongly NO AND GOD (+) FORBID!!!By Miss Jill Louis Starr (Bloomingdale  NJ 07403) lpcyu@optonline.net
