Help please! is bipolar disorder real or it just an excuse for people to act crazy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is real: Bipolar disorder is a genuine illness in the brain that often causes great suffering to that person and that person's loved ones. Someone can pretend to have bipolar as an excuse to act out, sure. But that does not mean bipolar is not real. Check out the book entitled 'an unquiet mind'.
