Stupid. Bipolar is a fact. But its not a disease and cant be cured by drugs, it can be treated, but its not good. Need to ask other question, whats the cause of such disorders like Bipolar. We need to know how to fight it not to stigmatize.

Here's my questions: 1.What type of doctor is he? The blurb doesn't say. If he is not a psychiatrist, then his opinions are not worth a hill of beans. 2.What does bipolar and the reality thereof have to do with "management training?" It certainly appears that this gentleman believes himself to be very important, influential, and the final authority on something he has no comprehension of. But that doesn't mean that I can sit here and say he has "delusions of grandeur." I am not a psychiatrist.

@BridgetEBala Anything "very real" is easy to test for BITCH. Psychiatry came into being to allow for continued attacks on nonconformists after such attacks could no longer be justified by Catholics hunting for "heretics" and Protestants hunting for "witches." Today anyone can be "mentally ill," just slap a label on him/her and it makes it so! Women in pants was "A Curious Disease," NY Times, May 27, 1876, p6 editorial on their "permanent mental hallucination" for wearing pants!

There's a reason he's in a small room, with a while chalkboard, with terrible handwriting: He's both an idiot and most people don't buy into his low IQ. Yet he has "grandiose symptoms", he thinks he can lecture the world... funny, those are symptoms of MANY psychiatric disorders

When the plaque hit Europe they couldn't test for it but they knew it existed by people dieing. It also took research to figure out diabeties, but they knew something was wrong before a test was developed. Just because there is No chemical test yet doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Also they think they have isolated the gene that may be responsible for this condition.

Yes, there are normal highs and lows in life and those can be felt more or less intensely with each incident and each individual. But there are those people who experience extremes beyond anything a "normal" person could understand. If you haven't felt it, you wouldn't understand it. And you sure as heck would not even begin to understand how to control it. So leave it to those who have to deal with it on a daily basis to make the decision to become "drug addicts" as you say.

[BridgetEBala]

My mood swings and whatnot nearly cost me my marriage, not because he couldn't deal with me, but because I could not cope with myself. So I understand the impact firsthand. It is not about getting "high" or being overly happy or anything like that. And it is not something that can be controlled without medication. I've tried. I've considered every possible side of what I'm feeling and there is no reason, no cause for it outside of a chemical imbalance.

[BridgetEBala]

Also, what is the need for two complete strangers to get so heated and angry over opinions that ultimately affect neither party? I have not yet been diagnosed as bipolar, but I have my suspicions. Which reminds me of another point I wanted to make. People who are bipolar have seen the effects of their feelings and behaviors in their jobs, in their personal relationships, etc. And their coworkers, family, and friends have seen them as well, along with the change once they are on medication.
