Bipolar, to me, has become the new "label" for everything even remotely considered mentally ill these days nonethewiser
pdocs and GPs just throw it about to anyone coming in the door... even those with just recurring major depression
any inappropriate behavior one deems inappropriate... any minor issue anyone wants to blow up to larger than life proportions...
you can take anyone off the street, talk to them for a while, ask them to if they have ever done such and such and such and I bet after a bit.. they'd be diagnosed with Bipolar as well cause you don't have to have every literal symptom to be diagnosed
and not every one with true Bipolar does or has every literal symptom and certainly not to the extreme as perhaps one or two others may seem to have but we... the entire population... are lumped into one sterotypical image of a Bipolar
and it is the new "catch phrase" by the way... so even it's seriousness is made fun of and parodied
that's just my opinion of the world at this moment...
