But I noticed the same thing among people in the day hospital program and support groups who "bought into it" - like a prideful thing to be on X number of different drugs with X number of diagnoses, all so they can seem "compliant" to doctors and brag to other patients. At least that was my take on it.

I once read a blog that went like "I always have bad reaction meds, but I will try new one anyways, because I am BRAVE!" and then the author got offended when somebody told them they had the same problem, decided to go without drugs, things gotten somewhat better.... She just wanted to be pampered in her vision of brave pill taking warrior.
Which is another thing that bothers me. As "untreated" bipolar, I am afraid to even admit it. Because all these celebs, Catherine Zeta Boring and Disney Whatsherface go around with "there's help" and promoting the mainstream treatment. Good luck if it doesn't work for you. Or if you don't wanna go that way for one reason or another.
