This story made me sad and angry so was wondering on others' thoughts:

http://au.news.yahoo.com/a/-/newshom...anatic-mother/

It angers me because:
1) This shows a person having an acute psychotic episode but instead of being in hospital, she's left to harm those around her instead of being offered help
2) Yet another story that will make people go, 'They're all crazy' as it lacks information about MI and doesn't link to anywhere people can learn about bipolar

It's a short article so of course it won't give enough info so people will make assumptions. But do you find the media just adds to the stigma?
