Thanks for the response. I was just wondering if these characters are displaced correctly if they have bipolar, psychosis, etc. or do they just show the worse things about it? It would be bad if they didn't show the right symptoms of the entire picture.
It's good that the public is being a bit more educated in this manner. To be honest, I didn't know what mental disorders or anything was until I figured out I have social anxiety disorder, along with generalized, making me research everything about mental health. Now I know a lot about it.
