ANDY DUNN experienced his first manic episode as a senior at Northwestern University, in 2000. He went from celebrating the turn of the millennium to wandering the campus disoriented. Plagued by what he calls a firestorm of emotions, he became convinced he was the Messiah and didn't sleep for three nights. Dunn was hospitalized and diagnosed with bipolar I disorder, a condition that can take someone from feeling euphoric and energized to a manic state marked by delusions, impulsivity, and even hallucinations to the deep lows of depression. He went on medication, briefly, but left his disorder largely untreated.
