I'm bipolar and a mother, I suffered a mild psychotic breakdown and knew enough to get my child somewhere safe and to isolate myself until I could calm down. The fact that social workers had been there that day and KNEW something was wrong but did nothing is unreal. I am sad and angry for the same reasons, the way the article ends by her stating "I was acting bipolar" does nothing good for those of us that are bipolar and stable. The media needs a story so what better way than to rile up people making everyone think that if a mom is bipolar now she's a baby killer, or if you're religious and bipolar you're double whammied based on this article. It's because of things like this that I am afraid to tell my own friends and family that I am bipolar for fear of what they'll think...So am I now feeding into the stigma by not talking about it?
