this is a great article that I hope will be seen by many people. unfortunately the media only show mental illness at its worst, rather than as all of the lovely people on PC. It is used to explain the unexplainable..like "oh that person killed a bunch of people, he must be bipolar". At least that is how it appears to me. It sucks because I view it as a medical ailment that can be treated and is not a label. Someone can have cancer, yet they are not cancer. I can have bipolar disorder and I am labeled as being bipolar, but I am not that disorder. Hopefully one day the world can eat a cake full of rainbows and smiles and accept people for who they are, disorders and all.
