First, let me say it is not easy living with someone with bipolar disorder. Their severe depressions and highest of manic episodes can ruin relationships.

By Courteney Stuart The COVID-19 pandemic cast a dark cloud across children’s lives, interrupting education and socialization. For the poorest families in the U.S., however, there was a silver lining. The unprecedented global crisis created the political will to implement long-called-for expansions of government benefits.
