IMHO, Avoid the occult if you are bipolar, BPS. Depressed or riddled with Anxiety. For a well-balanced person, the occult can be dangerous and unsettling but for a delicately balanced like us, it is an incredibly bad idea and can drive a person to psychosis, anxiety and heavy manic/insomniac episode.
This is not based on any religious or philosophical bases but my own personal experience as an Enchanter (Tim).
