The great thing about writing is how there are many ways thoughts and experiences can be expressed. The writers for these types of literature may not have always undergo the events that transpire in their novels. And at more interesting times these things do happen to the authors themselves. The readers know that someone out there can sympathize with them.
There are many perspectives that mental illness can be viewed through. There may be the perspective of the one plagued with the illness, and the one who has to deal with the person who is with the disease. Writing a bipolar romance novel biography, may involve ups and downs and tears, lots of it.
Mental illness may still be a vague concept for many. This may be due to the lack of proper representation in media. There is quite the number of things one can write about when it goes down to observing the life of one who has bipolar. This may involve stories about going to the psychiatrist, drinking medication, stopping medication and everything that happens in the middle.
Coping mechanisms are being explored. One possible angle to start with would be how the illness starts to manifest itself. Bipolar is characterized by manic and depressive episodes which can switch in a certain pattern. The more scientific side of this should be backed up by research, since it is a biography after all. This would matter depending on the type of bipolar the person has.
There are at least 3 main types of bipolar. Some classify them as I and II or A and B, mixed or cyclothemia. Its severity is based on how intense the each extreme is experienced. The perspective of the one with the illness can show different colorful interpretations of those episodes. Guaranteed that when seen at at a mentally healthy persons eyes, what they go through is like everyday life, only with every color and emotion being more saturated.
Mania could mean running around places, getting moments of epiphanies, euphoria and so on. This may be fun and many productive and creative things can come from it. But in severe cases, this may lead to the person making bad decisions. It does not help that the mentally ill person can barely get any sleep.
The mood swings are all in extremes and they would have little to no control over it. The romance novel may not end in a happily ever after, if the person is lucky it would. But in real life, luck is not something handed out to just anyone. It is not biased and does not care who a person is and where they come from. This can be true to mental illness, although, the likelihood of having it can come from genetic make up.
There have been many movies that show disorders, but one that is notable and is a biography is from 1999 called Girl, Interrupted. This was not at all a romance flick, but it accurately showed the life of those that suffer psychologically. The movie was based on the novel biography written by Susanna Kaysen, the protagonist.
Know that psychological dysfunction can be genetic. This is not the fault of those who are plagued with this problem. This novel would not be like the romance movies, if it were genuine and true. A happy ending where both people live happily together forever may not even happen. The piece being a biography would tell you that while there is romance, bipolar cannot be seen as something romantic.
