World Bipolar Day Celebrates Rather Than Shuns The Mental Illness

People around the world made World Bipolar Day a day set aside to raise awareness of the disorder and erase the stigmatism of mental illness.

This year the annual event shined a light on the plight of nearly 2 percent of the world’s population living with the manic highs and dramatic lows in mood the disorder brings. It is held on the anniversary of the birth of Vincent Van Gogh because it is believed the famous painter suffered from the disorder.

Are you or someone you know suffering with bipolar disorder and haven’t been diagnosed?

Check out this article for a closer look at the symptoms and where there’s help.

WATCH: EygyptAir Hijacker Throws Up The Peace Sign Leaving Court

The man suspected of hijacking an EgyptAir flight and redirecting it to Cyprus has appeared in court and said he acted in a bid “to see his wife and children”.

Seif Eldin Mustafa, 59, flashed “peace” signs for victory as he left the court in Larnaca following a short hearing, where he was remanded in custody for eight days on suspicion of hijacking, abduction, threatening violence, terrorism-related offences and two counts related to possession of explosives.

After a six-hour stand-off, the suspect identified by Egyptian and Cypriot authorities as Mr Mustafa walked off the plane and handed himself in to police.
In a statement Mustafa said:

“When someone hasn’t seen his family for 24 years and wants to see his wife and children, and the Egyptian government doesn’t allow it, what should one do?”

The suspect allegedly commandeered the aircraft 15 minutes after takeoff from Alexandria. He approached a flight attendant and showed off the belt, attached to a remote control he held in his hand.

“The suspect asked all passengers and crew to hand in their passports, then gave two messages to a member of the crew, asking that the pilot be informed that he was a hijacker and wanted to land at an airport in Turkey, Greece or Cyprus, but preferably Cyprus.”

It is believed that Mustafa suffers from mental health issues.

I don’t care what “political party” you do or don’t represent, this one here is a tear jerker.

Gotta love the kids! This will be life changing for this kid.

One thing I admire about kids is their honesty, carefreeness and boldness. Kids aren’t afraid to go after what they want, or at least ask for it.

Us adults could stand to take a page from their books.

Join the discussion.

A young girl who cried hysterically after learning President Obama would be leaving the White House in January took a special trip to meet him in person.

Caprina Harris posted the video to Facebook last month. It shows her granddaughter, 1st grader Kameria Crayton, crying inconsolably, not wanting Obama to leave office.

The clip has been shared more than 10,000 times.

Kameria wrote a letter to the president, saying she didn’t want him to leave, and she wanted to meet him at the White House.
Kameria traveled to Washington from Birmingham, Alabama, to make it happen.

Kameria and her family met the Obama and First Lady Michelle Sunday during the White House Easter Egg Roll.
