The health of the President of the Republic is a matter of national security. Their decisions affect, for better or for worse, the lives of Mexicans, and determine the political, economic and social with other countries. Therefore, the national security cabinet to worry about and deal with what happened a few days ago his boss Felipe Calderón, who, to a climate of terror and pressure by the threat of drug trafficking, has reached a mind to deny these facts and repeated insistently than before.

Two weeks ago, Calderon said in a dialogue with civil society organizations, who had never described as a "war" fighting the federal government holds against organized crime. Immediately, the media and exhibited denied the president-with photos and voice recordings-how since he came to Los Pinos has been repeated time and again that it is a "war" (sic

) of the state against of the drug cartels.

This contradiction in the thinking of the Mexican president is not a minor thing and should be analyzed by a specialist medical staff, who must determine his state of physical and mental health for Congress to consider whether the chief executive is able to govern . About especially since the issue of organized crime and violence plaguing the country, with a balance of more than 34 000

executed in its four years of government, of which more than 15 000 were killed in 2010 - has undergone harsh criticism and pressure.

recall that some years ago, when they started their campaign for the presidency, Calderón mentioned the opposition candidate Andrés Manuel López Obrador "a danger to Mexico" and a few months ago, in a radio interview, explaining the reason for that last statement, the president argued that the social hatred and anger of former presidential candidate had contaminated a large sector of society.

now desperate, contradictory and bipolar in its governance, Calderón is the one who must undergo a clinical trial to determine whether treatment is adequate health conditions continue to take decisions about the direction of the country and that are best for Mexicans or clarify whether it is he who has become "a danger to Mexico."

In the United States, the State Department agrees with the urgent need to review if Calderon is able to govern. So he did know the Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, who, according to Wikileaks leaks on Mexico, asked one of the cables dated December 2009 to report how they are affecting the personality of President Felipe Calderón and his way of ruling the adverse news of the "war" against drug trafficking and economic crisis in Mexico. Obama's government also believes that the Mexican president can be a danger to U.S. national security. a bipolar affective disorder

For reference, Wikipedia explains the disease of bipolar disorder, also known as bipolar disorder, formerly manic-depressive psychosis as is the psychiatric diagnosis that describes a mood disorder characterized by presence of one or more episodes of abnormally high energy levels, cognition and mood. Add reflected clinically in states of mania or, in milder cases, hypomania with concomitant or alternating episodes of depression, so that the affected is usually somewhere between joy and sadness in a much more marked than people without this condition.

general, says Wikipedia, has expression by an electrochemical imbalance in brain neurotransmitters. Additionally, due to the characteristics of bipolar disorder, individuals have a higher risk of mortality from accidents and natural causes such as cardiovascular disease. Despite being considered a chronic disorder with high morbidity and mortality, comprehensive care that addresses all aspects involved, biological, psychological and social, can achieve complete remission of the crisis, hence the great importance of diagnosis the hit is correct.

The basic element for the treatment of bipolar disorder is the awareness of the problem, your knowledge on the part of the patient and their relatives through sicoeducación to enable them to cope with the crisis, not unsubstantiated fears and the most valid tools as well as prevent relapse.

personalized drug therapy, especially during the stages of imbalance, is another key. Benzodiazepines, antipsychotics and mood stabilizers are the drugs most used. Patterns of mood changes may be cyclical, often starting with a hobby that ends in a deep depression. Sometimes, they can dominate or manic episodes of depression. Some of these disorders are called "rapid cycling" because the mood can change several times within a very short period of time. Other times it is called "mixed state", in which the depressive thoughts can appear in an episode of mania or vice versa. There are still two years to pass the current cabinet to retirement. If in 2010 there were over 15 000 deaths for 2011 and 2012 the level of violence could even be worse. It is therefore important that all decisions taken by Felipe Calderon are the best and, especially, are made with the best possible mental capacity. * Journalist
