I think this describes my boss precisely. Everyone who works with her can identify she has a MI (and I think it's BP, personally - the hypo/manias and depressions are pretty clear). We once had a person come do wellness profiles with all our staff as a benefit; after the initial profile, she met individually with each of us to discuss what the profile said and offer connections to resources that might be useful (smoking cessation, meditation teachers, anger management options, meal/budget planning help, etc.). She told my boss that she potentially had bipolar and she offered some resources for following up with someone who could actually provide a diagnosis.

My boss actually shared all of that with all of us in the admin unit at work. And then said it was ridiculous, much to our collective amazement and disappointment. No one ever mentions it to her - we accept that there will be months on end when she can't hold a meeting without dissolving into tears about something, and then months on end where the workload she creates through her incredible visions for the future will be monstrous.

It's interesting to say the least...
Thanks for this!
