Well I was treated for schizophrenia (long story, well not really. Shrink was incompetent. The longer story is why I saw him for 7 years.) for 7 years.

I found people didn't know what to do with that information, that I am (was) schizophrenic. Some thought it meant I had multiple personalities. My parents said they wouldn't have had me if they knew I was going to have these problems. It is hard to relate to. But everyone has good moods and bad moods so bipolar is easier to understand.
