I disagree with his comment that bipolar isn't a medical issue. If it has genetic, biological and chemical causes, it is a medical condition. However, I don't think he was calling people with bipolar lazy. The article about weight gain said the medication isn't the only reason for weight gain. He's prob. just saying we should look at all possibilities, because people with bipolar could be gaining weight from meds (just as people with depression sometimes gain weight from meds), but they can also gain weight from the same reasons as non-medicated folks. To be honest, though I have yet to read the entire article, so maybe I'm wrong about that. But like sanity says, he founded PC, so the articles are likely to stay up.
