I have bipolar disorder. is it okay for me to take ginseng as a supplement to aid my mental alertness?

Why not?: If you find it helpful, use it. You might want to discuss the matter with your doc just in case you are taking a medication that would not be compatible. Bipolar patients do best when they take their meds regularly, and engage in meaningful activities. I have also noticed that bipolr people tend to be incredibly creative. Use your gifts. You will feel so much better about yourself!
