I wonder how many people out there are suffering needlessly when a change of diet and/or treatment for underlying illness could make all the difference.

That's really interesting. Thanks for posting it.

My father was manic depressive. He was sure that something triggered it but never tracked it down.

"What if it was a physical illness that just happens to make people feel pretty lousy? Would that make it less of a big deal to admit to?"

Well, probably not. It could very well be due to hypo, and that has it's own share of stigma to deal with! BUT this is a step in the right direction, I feel.
