Interestingly, my T had also watched the Golden Globes. Said she believe that BP (and other mental health disorders) are as common with celebrities (and great literary, music, art figures in history, of course) as in the rest of the population. But, celebrities of today can afford personal trainers, on-call psychotherapists and pdocs, dieticians and chefs to plan meals (reduce med weight gain), and - perhaps more than anything else - access to body restructuring (liposuction, etc. etc.), AND healthy creative outlets.
Valid points.
Another consideration is that (specifically speaking of the Golden Globes) I think most of the people there were rather loose-lipped from all that champagne 
When I think about it, though, there are a few brave souls who do share their mental health struggles with the public. Sinead O'Conner comes to mind. Kanye West...I dunno what his trip is, lol.
In my lifetime, I've been fascinated by Van Gogh. The more I learn about him, the most convinced I am that he was a classic BP1.
Brings up interesting questions, of course. Would we have Beethovans, Van Goghs, Mozarts, had there been medication treatment back then? Were their shortened lives worth the magnificence they left as legacies for humanity?
