this is so ridiculous, i am just ranting at this moment so early in the day anyway i was watching an episode of the glades ( rare) i hardly have the patience to go through a whole episode of anything, and one character says oh this person is taking lithium what is lithium? the other character says that its for manic depression and in bipolar people and if they go off thier meds they suddenly turn violent, what kind of %$#@ is that, i am tempted to email the station about that episode and refer them to learn about bipolar and lithium before making statements like that, true that it could happen but just because you stopped your lithium for 2 days as suggested in this episode and the only illness you have is bipolar is certainly not going to turn you violent and homicidal provided that its your only illness and nothing else was going on or no major triggers were involved even then it would be speculation
