Has anyone developed spirituality as part of dealing with their
Bipolar condition?

If so -- what? And how?

Your question is a bit vague.

It is very common for someone undergoing a manic episode to believe
they have a heightened connection with something spiritual.

Is this what you mean?

Certainly they develop it as part of their experience - but I don't
know if this is what you mean by 'dealing with'.

If your asking whether sufferers seek a spiritual solution to the
illness - that's another concept all together.

There are spiritual dimensions everywhere:
-love of self, getting help
-connecting with others who are near to you
-strength in depression
-learning about human weakness, brokeness
-"bearing the cross" if I may say
-etc.
