That seems...harsh. I don't have bipolar but I've seen it very close to home, and sometimes my manic loved one needs somebody just to sit and be a calming, relaxed, caring presence, patiently having conversations that work towards being chill and soothing. I know everyone's needs vary but I would've thought it would nearly always be beneficial.
