Wow, people seem awful eager to display their sore rear ends over this one.

Way I see your comment it was "Mutant powers are like being bipolar because everyone thinks it's cool but they don't have to live with the downsides"

To which people respond with 'HOW DARE YOU! Bipolar disorder is not cool you don't know what you're talking about because you don't have to live with the downside!'

And then there are the people trying to argue that it doesn't increase the liklyhood of a suicide attempt? What are they trying to say there? 'You're wrong about the downside, Bipolar really is as great as eveyone who doesn't have it thinks it is?'

My two cents is that the problem is that "they're more creative" part. I have a mild form of Bipolar disorder (Cyclothymia) and I don't think I'm any more or less creative than I'd be without it.
It's a pain in the ass - one I can thankfully deal with pretty well, but still a pain in the ass - so I did raise an eyebrow when someone tried to compare it to some kind of superpower. Superpowers - specifically the one used as an example - do have a plus side. Bipolar disorder doesn't: what the hell IS the plus side of it?
