These people are lost. I suppose they are perhaps attracted to the artistic success/scientific success aspects of bipolar disorder. Van Gogh/ David Foster Wallace/etc. But I don't think most of them wouold last an hour in the throes of a psychotic or depressed episode. They are looking for the glamour, but missing the tragedy and anguish we all suffer with. They wouldn't make it an hour. Spend some time on this board. Are we glamorous?
