Very Well Said, but I would add...When it comes to Bipolar, not getting treatment and not getting medicated is extremely dangerous for everyone around you.

This mentality that its not a physical ailment literally has caused numerous suicides, spousal abuse, violent episodes, etc...

All completely avoidable if they were medicated and treated.

Thinking of mental disorders as fundamentally different leads people to fear seeking out treatment, which is the real problem.
