I discovered the existence of anti-conscience after continuing Carl Jung’s research into the unknown region of the human psyche through dream interpretation. I was then attacked by the anti-conscience. Thus, I saw very clearly that all the symptoms that torture schizophrenic individuals are the consequence of the attacks of the anti-conscience.

Therefore, when four years later, I too had to bear the anti-conscience’s attacks, my human conscience was not completely destroyed. If you are schizophrenic you must understand that you are fighting against a demon.

Bipolar disorder is a serious mental illness that can be very debilitating to a person’s normal life. Of course, it can also wreak havoc on the lives of the people around them as well.

The history of bipolar disorder dates back more than 2000 years, where extreme cases of depression and evident mood swings were clearly identified in a patient after a close medical evaluation. With time, the disorder was very significant where reviews showed how mentally ill patients were being taken care of in hospitals in Paris. This is the period when the illness was clearly emphasized and it clearly showed the clear relationship between depression and mania where in extreme cases it led permanent psychosis.
