Let's Make One Thing Clear

I have Manic Depression.

I have such a bad case of Bipolar Disorder that when I get MANIC I still think I don’t have Manic Depression and I’m almost fifty. It started when I was 25. I would like to make that absolutely clear. Yes I did some of my best writing when I was off of medication, Yes I did some of my best writing when I was on medication. THE MEDICATION IS IRRELEVANT TO THE ART.

Do I make myself clear?
