It´s very common especially in creative types. There is at least another famous metal musician that has it, namely Devin Townsend. Here he talks about it a little.

He says one in ten people get it at some time is it true??

Yes, I thought it was more than that! It only becomes known if some well-known person becomes afflicted with it!

Although men do have bipolar disorder, it is much more common in women.
Alot of people have it&suffer with it for years not knowing what is wrong.
To be honest, Tolkki is recovering rather quickly.....he was out of the hospital over a week ago, and posting on other forums last week. so, he is doing great!

let's hope he can maneuver through it and heal...
IMO he can do it, but, let's wish'im the best, few musicians in the world are match for him

Let's let a doctor make a diagnosis. We can throw around terms all we want, but they have formal training in diagnising mental disorders. Any psychologist members? :spin2:

Lump it? What does that mean?
Lump of what? It's supposed to be an insult?
Lucky for you that you can speak Finnish enough to understand all these hundreds of sites and read every little word that a rockstar says. It must fill a big hole in your life! And certainly your time too.
Do you stalk him all over every message board?
I wonder why he does not post here anymore....

Eh, what exactly makes you think the person behind this username is Tolkki?

Aren't Timo Tolkki and Stratovarius written the same way in Finnish and English?
Anyway, I think you've been mistaken. Around that time last year (mid-October to be exact) Tolkki wrote to the "Letters to the editor" -column of a Finnish afternoon paper about a TV-show called "Idols". I even posted that letter to this forum, you can read it
here. I'm sure this Taneli guy just did the same thing on Imperiumi.

Hello there, i haven't been here as much as you Fireblade but i think that you don't have the right to say that BEG always talks shit and start attacking her, this forum has been kinda peacefuly in this days, let's continue like that some more time don't you think?
