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.
