I agree. Bipolar disorder is still greatly misunderstood.


On another note, I had a heated argument with my dad related this. He was telling me how Naomi Osaka was irresponsible in quitting the French tournament and about playing at the Olympics and not performing well. I explained to him that she is having a hard time because of depression and she just can't help it. It got to a point where he was saying that a mental illness should never be an excuse. I got angry and told him, "So you think my disorder is just an excuse?"
