This list contains writers, musicians, singers, entertainers, actors, poets, political leaders, scientists, astronauts, athletes, activists, educators, comedians, journalists, business moguls, directors, and popular celebrities. Most in this list are living, but some we know as contributors to our history. All are known for their positive contributions, within their own special field of genius. Some of their personal demons have become public news. These individuals' occasion with bipolar disorder is documented at "List of people with Bipolar Disorder," available for your reference at www.Wikipedia.com, as well as within each individual's biography on the www.Wikipedia.com site.
