Extract from \u2018Runs in the Family\u2019 by Jacqueline Campbell<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cMy brother Julian had bipolar disorder. My brother was intelligent, talented, and a delight. He was far more intelligent than his years. When he was 11 years old and I was 13, I remember being very excited because I was going to the school disco for the first time in my life. My mum was only allowing me to go because my brother was coming, too.<\/p>\n

My brother\u2019s room was the only place that had a full-length mirror, and I wanted to check out my outfit and my hair. I rushed into his room only to be told, \u2018No! You can\u2019t come in yet, I\u2019m doing electrolysis and collecting oxygen and hydrogen gas, you\u2019ll have to wait!\u2019 \u2018Electrolysis?\u2019 I thought. \u2018That\u2019s something that we do in school, not in our bedroom!\u2019 But this is how Julian was, always thinking about mixing chemicals together and making new things. When he was 14, he made a bomb that blew up the boys\u2019 cloakrooms at school. He was excluded for a few days.<\/p>\n

As Julian got older, he joined a gang, started drinking and taking drugs, and became ill. It took years to diagnose his bipolar disorder. We tried to support him all we could, but we really didn\u2019t know how to. \u201d[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column css_animation=”fadeInRight” offset=”vc_col-lg-6 vc_col-md-6″][vc_images_carousel images=”1397″ img_size=”555×420″ onclick=”link_no” autoplay=”yes” wrap=”yes” css_animation=”none”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row 0=”” full_width=”stretch_row”][vc_column css=”.vc_custom_1498442961019{padding-top: 5px !important;padding-bottom: 35px !important;}”][vc_column_text 0=””]<\/p>\n
