I watched with intrigue Stephen Fry: The Secret Life of the Manic Depressive his documentary on Bi Polarity recently on BBC2. I was diagnosed with possible cyclothymia, which is a rapid cycling form of Bi Polar, as I can have every emotion known to man in one day.
I can now add Richard Dreyfuss as a famous person with 'ADD' in his own words on Fry's programme. Dreyfuss has Bi Polar too, and I have long suspected the two can either be connected, or confused with each other. It is reported in many places that Winston Churchill had symptoms of ADHD, and it states here that he was reported to have manic depression. I continue to search for evidence of this, but an awful lot of the people I meet with Bi Polar also have many ADHD symptoms, in my humble opinion.

41. Can Green Tea Improve Your Memory?
I've been getting lots of emails from Tesco Diets lately (I always have Tesco deliver my groceries after ordering online - it saves so much time).
But today they sent me one that was quite interesting. I'm all for improving my health in as natural a way as possible, so whenever I learn of the benefits of a certain food, I try to include it in my diet (my downfall is cornflakes and muesli which are actually full of sugar).
Tesco say:
"Researchers at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne have released a new study detailing how green and black tea can actually improve your memory. Dr. Ed Okello and his team have located compounds in the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant, which produces green, black and oolong teas, which block the activity of brain chemicals that are associated with memory decline."
Anyway, there are long words involved so I'll let you go and check out the Tesco link for yourself Here.
