Hypnobabies Instructors come in please!

So I was just looking at the homestudy on Amazon and it says "Hypnobabies is never recommended for a person with a history of mental illness"..umm, why?  I have bipolar disorder so I'm wondering why they would not recommend it.

    I think because some real hypnotism is taking place, they want you to make sure you talk to your doctor before starting anything that can have an impact on your brain and perceptions. (Not a hypnobabies instructor, just an obsessive lurker on natural birth boards.) Please anyone correct me if I'm wrong! :-)

    Hmmm...ok. I still plan on doing it. I don't think it poses a risk to me as I am no someone who has hallucinations or delusions or anything like that. I am very high functioning (have 3 jobs, go to school, raise a family). so I don't really see it being a problem. My OB wouldn't know (she wasn't even familiar with Hypnobabies), and I'm not currently seeing my psychiatrist since I am off meds. Maybe I could see what my therapist thinks..thanks!
