Sean Costello’s outward personality was that of a
normal, albeit talented and charismatic
child and young man. Despite his innate shyness, he rose to the highest
ranks of the blues world, playing with the icons of diverse genres
of music. He captured the hearts of people around the world who came
to love and admire him. What was not visible was the internal struggle
that accompanied his creativity and prodigious talent - a struggle
which was later diagnosed as Bipolar Disorder. Because of his unique
interpretation of American roots music and his generous spirit, Sean’s
passing has ignited a burning desire to keep his personal and musical
memory alive and to translate the human side of his suffering into
action that will help in research, education, outreach and treatment
efforts for Bipolar Disorder.

Bipolar disorder is a condition in which people experience abnormally
elevated (manic or hypomanic) and abnormally depressed states for
short, or significant periods of time; in a way that interferes with
functioning. Bipolar disorder affects more than 2 million Americans
- about 3 out of every 100 adults. It affects people without regard
to age, race, ethnicity, gender, education or occupation. Not everyone's
symptoms are the same and there is no blood test to confirm the disorder.
Scientists believe that bipolar disorder may be caused when chemicals
in the brain are out of balance. Bipolar disorder can look like depression.
Distinguishing the illness is tricky, even for mental health professionals.
What makes bipolar disorder different is that in addition to depression,
a person also experiences the "highs" of a manic phase.
