I was looking for some inspiration for a project and somehow stumbled across this. The woman blames her actions on bipolar disorder. I was not impressed.
In fact, this made me quite angry.

Topless woman goes bonkers at Florida McDonald's | Blogs | Orlando Weekly

Yes, I know in Manic states people can do things they normally wouldn't, but this seems extreme and like it's mocking Bipolar in a way. They use the word "bonkers!" I cannot really express how angry this makes me.

The article doesn't even attempt to address what it is. THIS IS WHY Bipolar has a negative stigma! Because of people like this blaming every single action they do on Bipolar Disorder and we don't even know if she really has it. And then the media just blantly stating it was Bipolar without even a question or an explanation. They make us look crazy!!!
