[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe OP is manic, and thinks she's being coherent and thinking straight. OP, with no stigma attached or intended, and with care, may I suggest you talk to your pdoc about your state of mind. Meds may need tweaking.[/quote]

OP here:  I am bipolar and I am not manic.  You might want to take a look at why you can't understand a simple concept.  Here is an analogy.  Where would we be today if we did not educate ourselves about AIDS?  We would still treat people with AIDS as lepers.  That's how mentally ill people are treated.  BTW:  I think it is shameful to not educate yourself about mental illness.  
What don't you understand?[/quote]

I don't get you, OP.  [b]Maybe you are worried about the stigma of bipolar, but he wasn't.  [/b]He received treatment for years.  He discussed his depression, he even admitted in interviews to suicidal thoughts.  And on top of that he had Parkinsons, which is not a bright future for anyone.
[b]
So the last thing that killed him was stigma.  Maybe you feel the stigma, but he got past it.  He took his med[/b]s.  Do you know when he didn't?  When he was performing, because he said it dulled his comedy.  Maybe that killed him.  But lack of understanding from the world at large did not.[/quote]

What a ridiculous statement. Many with mental illness, including celebrities who who "receive treatment" and "take their meds" and "admit" things about it in interviews suffer the ramifications of stigma. [/quote]
