I read somewhere or heard it on the news, that people (especially in Southern California) are going to their dr. and ASKING for a diagnosis of Bipolar. They treat it like going to the bar and ASKING for the latest "in" drink. Bipolar Disorder seems to be the new "in" disease to have. Actually having the DX of BP, I cannot even begin to describe how this makes me feel. Sort of like I need to hurl.
