Written by Brian Murphy: Mental Illness is something that is very controversial and we are constantly making progress in identifying the genetics and biological factors that lead to criminals whose mental illnesses lead to their actions. For my research in this instance I will be focusing mainly on bipolar disorder since it is potentially coded into my families genetic DNA on my mothers side. My grandfather, on my mother’s side, was bipolar and likely abused substances, which led to him committing suicide before I ever got to meet him. This event, in a manner of speaking, â€Å"sparked† my mother’s case of Bipolar disorder at the age of 26 and she fell into rapid cycles of mania and depression following her father’s suicide; but has never†¦show more content†¦According to every study I have found based on this particular illness, it is mainly those who accompany their diagnosis with substance abuse of many different forms who are in fact the da ngerous bipolar individuals. Unfortunately, among all mood disorders and mental illnesses, those diagnosed with Bipolar disorder are by far the most likely to have this comorbidity of substance abuse as a prevalent issue, especially during the manic phase of their mood swings and more than 35% of Bipolar patients abuse drugs in their manic phase (NIDA). Dr. Ranga Krishnan believes that the numbers are even higher to the point where out of everyone diagnosed with Bipolar disorder, more than half of that population has the comorbidity with substance abuse which is a scary thought because according to a combination of sources, that means that 14% of our population has around a fifty-fifty chance of being a manic drug abuser (1). Generally the illness presents itself in the individual whether or not they have prior substance abuse issues and for the majority it becomes evident between the ages of 18-29. However, there is still one percent of the United States population who are diagn osed beyond the age of 60.

They have done some sterling service in bringing together the very diverse strands of work that today qualify as constituting the subject of organisational theory. Whilst their writing is accessible and engaging, their approach is scholarly and serious. It is so easy for students (and indeed others who should know better) to trivialize this very problematic and challenging subject. This is not the case with the present book.
