I have Bi Polar which begin aged 50. Does anyone know if my illness will disappear after the menopause. I was also sectioned with PPS after the birth of my first child so know how directly hormones may be playing a part.

Hormones play a major part in post partum psychosis it's all to do with the dramatic drop in progesterone after giving birth Hormones are also playing a part in your recent development of bipolar disorder - again it is due to a drop in progesterone - you can fix it with natural progesterone cream
