Re:Ask HN: How do you manage your mental health? on Tuesday June 12, 2018 @02:16PM (#17296194)
Mental health is an issue I live with on a day-to-day basis. I struggled for the first 42 years of my life, always finding it difficult. I experienced great short term successes but they never lasted. Finally, two years ago, after losing my wife and family, I was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder (Type 1) and began treatment. These days I take regular medication, speak with a psychiatrist monthly and a psychologist every two weeks.

Life is easier but it's difficult knowing that I lost everything and it could have been prevented. Now, I have a startup of eight people and it's challenging but I'm doing it for my children. They're also the reason I stay on treatment.

This is really nothing special at all. Latin American countries based on Spanish Civil Law have the same system (registro civil). As do countries of French origin and even the province of Quebec.
