What does it seem like so many people are bipolar?
Question:
Answers:
I believe only about 3% of the population has bi-polar, it probably seems like more due to publicity given to the disorder. Also, it's a hard disorder to diagnose, so many people are misdiagnosed with other mental health issues first - such as schizophrenia, but now that the general population, and medical world know increasingly more about it, and it's understood better, more people with the symptoms are probably coming forward and being diagnosed better first time around.
There is nothing wrong with being bi-polar, I have 3 friends who have it, and with well managed medication, they live "normal" fulfilling lives, and no one is any the wiser. They are people just like anyone else who just happen to have an illness - like people with asthma or diabetes.

It is a easy way out,"he or she is bipolar" so let them get away with anything. Stealing,lying,doing drugs,starting fights, not working,playing video games all day,getting your girlfriend pregnant,vandalism,physically abusive,mentally abusive, drunk all the time, that describes my a-hole stepson. He thinks hes bipolar. Bipolar people think they are fine when they go off. They need sympathy and medical help,and they are few in number. Seems every a-hole I have run into these days claims to be bipolar.Bipolar is a serious disease, not an excuse for BUMS.
Because they are.....
