I 100% agree.
Yes. Bipolar can be managed with medication and therapy, you can't fix being stupid
Wait, you mean tv shows aren't always 100% accurate? Hmm, never would have guessed.
It's even dumber than that, because doesn't bipolar disorder have a spectrum? The tv show very well could have done it's research, but this guy doesn't realize everything fits in the same POV as the show
Especially in 90210
well duh, of course an actor can show bipolar better than an actual sufferer
There's no consequence on TV. In reality people with bipolar try not to be so bipolar. On TV they sensationalise it for the viewers. I have bipolar but nowhere near as awesome as Claire Danes does on Homeland lol
I'm sorry that he doesn't believe that you, a real person, have the disorder while the girl, a character from a show, is 'legitimate' according to him. FYL
Kick him in the nuts and tell him he's faking it if he complains. Mental illnesses come in all shapes and sizes.
Of course he's right! After all, I'm a qualified doctor, as I've seen every episode of House and ER...twice! (I'm making a damn joke, before you idiots start firing nukes at me...)
Idiot. You can't be a doctor if you also don't watch every season of Grey's Anatomy thrice.
19: That made me chuckle pretty good. ?
don't forget Children's Hospital on adult swim!
No offense but I think.... Your brother is a uneducated fool

Ugh medias view of bipolar makes me so mad as someone with it. TV shows tend to show bipolar girls as "manic pixie dream girls" and that's so inaccurate for most people, they miss out the bad parts, the mood swings etc. and don't even mention the various types. Not to mention shows like Homeland which do the exact opposite and *only* show the bad (don't even get me started on the lack of male representation...). Don't worry OP, you know the truth. Stigma around our condition is a bitch but you're awesome for fighting and **** his opinion.
I didn't realise I wrote such a rant but it's one of my biggest pet peeves. Sorry!
Don't be sorry for writing it. People need to know.
It drives me crazy (no pun intended) when some wack job goes on a rampage, shooting etc and the media always mentions they were bipolar/mentally ill. The vast majority of us hold jobs and blend in with society and you'd never know we have it. I tend to manage life quite well 99% of the time and have never been arrested or acted out in some bizarre way.
People with mental illnesses are more likely to be victims of violence or abuse rather than perpetrate it but of course the media usually shows it the other way around because it's easier to blame a mentally ill scapegoat than maybe think "normal" people are ****** up. No, I'm not bitter. lol.
Yea, because TV is the standard to judge mental illness
This is Murica. What do you mean the tv isn't always right? Jeeeeeesus himself supports television.
You're totally not bipolar. TV dictates everything! Yeah, right.

I'd rather be any kind of bipolar than that kind of stupid.
