I believe it exists but I also believe a lot of people aren't but use it to excuse a complete lack of fucking effort on their part. Same goes for ADD, Autism, PTSD, 'anger management issues'...etc

Like I said, I don't doubt the existence of these things, just the prevalence.

Oh yeah?

In that case I'm bi polar everybody. So don't mind when I get "bitchy". It's not me...It's my bi polar disorder.

Legit Bi-Polar exists - these people can become dangerous and suicidal.

Having said that I am sure it is way over-diagnosed, and there are plenty or regular "idiots" getting diagnosed incorrectly.

Real bipolar is legit, when you've dealt with a real case there will be no doubt in your mind as to its authenticity.

This, Bipolar is thrown around to much to describe every up and down in todays society!

Bipolar is similar to, but much more extreme than, moodswings.

I know one who has it for real. Scary shit, can come with hallucinations.

The doctors' in Sweden doesn't just do shock theraphy to some mixed up person with moodswings.

No 'disorder' is a get out of bad behavior free card. If someone is a pain in the ass, I don't really want to hear all about the reason why. I just want them gone. What someone's doctor told them doesn't make them any less unpleasant to me, so I guess I don't really care if it's legitimate or not. It makes no difference. I'm unsympathetic.

Psychiatric diagnoses are a great way to convince people they aren't responsible for their own actions. Also makes them believe they are helpless and require perpetual care to 'manage their condition.' Weak personalities welcome a diagnosis which relieves them of the responsibility of self determination.

I think that some of the extreme cases are not just bi-polar. Probably Bi-Polar + Schizophrena etc.

It's legit and very easy to diagnose...

NotMrAverage · « **Reply #47 on:** May 18, 2013, 10:32:35 PM »

I was together with one girl who had it too. Was with her for 6 years and she got diagnosed in first year already. I say like coach I was happy to live after those years. They were brutal! She could go episode free for quite some time but would relapse sooner or later. It would always be very dramatic and turned against me. Like she was'nt apart of the ecuation at all. She could do all sorts of bad behavouior and if I wanted to talk about it she would refuse to and would focus on my shit instead. She could easily get an oscar for irratic behavouior. Drama queen extreme.

Bipolar disorder occurs equally in men and women. However, there are some big differences in the characterization of the symptoms of bipolar disorder in women and men.
