I'm not familiar with actual service animals being used for bipolar disorder.

I use a service dog for allowing me to differentiate real voices and ones in my head,
I use it to respond and prevent SI behavior, respond to panic attacks, brace for nausea, blocking other people by standing in front of me to relieve anxiety, we are also working on waking me up, and finding lost items.
I would never want to say that I have a disability that I don't have.
