A hot topic is if you Indigo diagnosed with Bipolar disorder. Here are some initial thoughts I felt were important to understand. Indigo is a aura frequency. As a result you have specific life experiences, a past spirituality that is compelling. You generally feel misunderstood. In Bipolar illness, there is a great sensitivity to mood and people, the environment around you. It is a chemical imbalance that medication does help. If you are lucky enough to find the right medication with dosage, you are golden. Memorize it. It will come handy for the rest of your life. You can be both. A person with Bipolar illness is like any other, good and bad, strengths and weaknesses. So much depends on their background, attitude, motivation and habits. The course of your illness, problem and your life depends on this. Exercise, a regular schedule, good support system, and proper sleep have proven to be beneficial. With Indigos with Bipolar, you need it all, exercise, yoga, tai chi, meditation, a regular exercise, good support system, journaling, spiritual activities that are meaningful to you, and honesty with knowing your stress limits. You are still a divine soul. We all are. No matter what illness doctors say you have, never fear to tell me what the past medical history is, it just gives me a picture of the past. It guides how I can best help in the future. I think no less of you. I feel this is so important to say because I am aware of the great stigma attached to mental illness, and I pray it changes and awareness/education grows/helps. The strength and love I see and feel among Indigos tell me they will prevail, no matter what. Love and blessings.

I am a 34 year old Indigo with Bipolar I Disorder. I've heard some talk that Indigos are often diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder. Regardless of whether the BP diagnosis is accurate, your article speaks truth, that both the Indigo and BP state create high levels of sensitivity and that the non-pharmaceutical remedies (such as healthy diet, exercise, meditation, etc.) help alleviate symptoms in both cases. In the future, there will be clinical methods for determining whether someone is truly bipolar. Until then, I'd recommend that anyone who is unsure if their symptoms are due to being an Indigo or having BP ought to try the natural remedies and lifestyle changes. If they work, you may not have BP, but if you continue to have symptoms even after using natural remedies, I would suggest that you visit a psychiatrist or CMHNP who can help you find medications that work for you. There are a great variety of medications to try. I've been having success with my BP meds. They haven't zombified me or made me ill; they've just shielded me from the swings, keeping me more stable, happy, and healthy. Who knows if my symptoms are spiritual or chemical.. All I know is that a healthy lifestyle combined with medication is improving my life experience. If you're wondering if you have BP, read up on it (The Bipolar Survival Guide is a great resource). If you think you have it, get a good doctor and seek medical treatment. It could save your life.
