Just a suggestion really... so I thought the term 'manic depression' was pretty outdated, with bipolar disorder being the preferred term. So I was wondering if it may be appropriate to rename the article, currently a link on the home page. nd also a bit of text, so "bipolar (formerly known as manic depression" etc etc
And just to check....I looked at the Royal College of Psychiatrists page and

Bipolar disorder used to be called ‘manic depression’. As the older name suggests, someone with bipolar disorder.....

thanks for pointing this out - really useful as we hadn't realised that the name was outdated and will definitely look into it.
For us the most vital thing is making sure people can find the info if they're using Google, so we'll check and see whether most people google 'bipolar' or 'manic depression' ... it's not an exact science though! And we'll definitely put bipolar in the metatags if it's not there already. We also have to be careful with changing titles in case lots of other people are linking to us - we don't want to break their links so we'd have to create a redirect.
Sorry if this is all techy gobbledigook
Thanks again for letting us know and please do let us know in future if you spot anything else - we really rely on this kind of feedback to keep TheSite up to date.
