I never said it was right... just stating a truth and it's pretty accurate. .. while people need not be ignorant you have to understand they have no clue about the reality of the situation because of their life and situation. I've heard people make rude and unnecessary comments about bipolar disorder and just let it go.. they don't know I'm bipolar to start with... and like you said ignorance is most of the problem as most people don't have an understanding what bipolar actually is.. I've learned with bp mass people have their own perception about it and most are way off.... stands true with depression too...
