My boss knows I'm bipolar and doesn't give me any grief about it whatsoever. As he puts it, it's a whole lot better for me to see my pdoc every few weeks than to start throwing steak knives at people. He's the first to admit he doesn't understand much about BP, but he's seen me during a manic episode and it wasn't pretty......he simply doesn't believe in treating people like crap, and he also knows that nobody works harder or does it better than I do when I'm well.
