Bipolar disorder

Bipolar disorder or as they used to call it, "manic-depressive," is now portrayed in the media as some kind of uncontrollable defect. I can tell you from personal experience that the current trend of bipolar bashing is unwarranted. By definition, people who suffer from Bipolar Disorder cycle from high emotional states to low emotional states. Bipolar's can stay in these "episodes" for weeks or even longer if left without medical and/or psychological support. This shouldn't be confused with depression which is also a serious condition. Both can be successfully treated with medication and therapy.
