I think everyone here takes their illness seriously, or they wouldn't be on a forum talking about it. There has been the BP I vs. II argument here several times. I do not think that BPII would be labeled as depressed if it was in an ICD-10 country. We seem to be very skeptical about the health industry and treat mental illness like they should be institutionalized. This is only because most that have committed crimes or drug offences here do have some form of mental illness.

I think some people claim it because the diagnosis is thrown around a lot in some cases.
Plus there is so many "bipolar" celebrities that I am really suspicious about it in some case (I think some of them just can't handle the fame and were cracking under presure. And substance abuse might have played a role in there). Of course, even Chris Brown is bipolar, apparently (and many people feel sorry for him, because, you guess it, bipolar made him beat up Rihanna, let's feel sorry for poo wittle Chris.... I wonder if bipolar made him write garbage music too).
and I think another huge problem is that once you are diagnosed, it's hard to get undiagnosed. Any questions from patiences = delusion = proof they are ill. How many times we seen here the "your illness is lying to you" line?
