Okay, but not all mental illness is super cute like that. Some mental illness actually makes you batshit crazy.

People with bipolar disorder can go into psychosis. They can have hallucinations and delusions, and say and do shit that's completely out of character for them. It's great that you know someone who seems to be managing their disorder well, but that does not mean that everyone with the disorder is going to present like her.

He still didn't ought to be a Nazi, and yet it's very likely that his disorder has contributed to him being so, by making him more prone to paranoid and illogical thinking.

There is no mental illness that makes you racist. Being an exacerbating factor is not the same as being a cause.

Thanks for saying this. I think that since bipolar disorder is a mental illness with a very broad spectrum that presents itself even with milder symptoms, people forget that this illness can be pretty debilitating for a lot of people, especially if they don't have access to proper care (or if they are so far gone that they think they don't need help). I suffer from manic episodes with psychosis and it is not fun if I leave it untreated...
A lot of people in prison have untreated mental illnesses and a it's estimated that a large percentage of them suffer from bipolar disorder. bipolar disorder is also one of the deadliest mental illnesses, with a very high percentage of successful suicides.
If you have a full blown manic episode you risk completely changing your brain and the more manic episodes you have the more damaged your brain becomes.

I don't get why people dismiss it like it's some "quirky stuff that happens sometimes". Maybe for some people it is, but UHMMMM not for everyone?
But in the end I think it's maybe better that they don't know. I wouldn't wish this endless nightmare to anyone. You can treat it, but it's never truly gone. It's exhausting.
