(CP) Although victims of manic depression are capable of high achievement the incur able illness can be devas. tating, wrecking marriages and leading to suicide It's speculated that victims have included historical fig ures as diverse as composer George Handel, artist Vin cent Van Gogh, author Er nest Hemingway and former British prime minister Sir Winston Churchill. In stages of the manic phase, victims may be charm: ing and productive, but they can also become angry, par anoid and delusional. “You never know where you are at,” said a Windsor woman who was married to a manic-depressive man for 17 years. He was a kind and sup portive father with a good job, but “when he would get depressed he would just cut himself off from everything.” He attempted suicide and was admitted to hospital. But what tore apart the marriage were the manic phases when he would become impulsive and intolerant and spend money wildly. “A manic person is very hard to deal with,” she said. “They won't listen to reason. It's the best they've felt in their life so who the hell wants someone to tell them to come down?” GENES TO BLAME? Although the cause of the illness is unknown, it appears to be physical in origin and may be genetically deter- mined, said Dr. Archibald MicViear, chief of psychiatry at Hotel Dieu Hospital in Windsor. He stressed that it should ; not be blamed on either the victim or his family. “Many people feel so guil said MacVicar. “They aren't to blame for it. They're just passive victims of an ill ness.” Castlegar Savings Credit 180- TERM DEPOSIT LIMITED OFFER SPECIAL RATE Union DAY Taste Tells Spaghetti In Tomato Sauce. 66‘ 398 mL 14 fl. Oz.

Medi- cations can be prescribed to help control both manic and depressive phases. The problem is that many victims refuse to accept they are suffering from an illness. “It may take several years before they believe they should have help,” said Mac- Viear. “In the manic stage they think they're on the top of the world; they have de- lusions that they have all the energy in the world; they can go 24 hours without sleep; they can spend money like water. They love it.” Developing a well-balanced life, maintaining meaningful relationships and learning to handle stress all appear to increase a patient's chances of remaining well.

The brothel, one of the largest legal houses of prostitution in the United States, has been for sale off and on for the last several years, and is listed with a local realtor’s office, which distributes the listing to its offices across the country. Realtor Lorena Clark said she wants assurance that a prospective buyer is serious before she will give tours.
