manic

Mental illness is important to me, I’m not here to complain or to talk about MY diagnosis but just that alone, the mental disorder itself. Bipolar disorder is not as common as you may think, it is genetic. There’s this terrible stigma about bipolar disorder, that doesn’t give a perception with a person suffering from this disorder, in a humane way.

People who suffer from bipolar disorder may feel that they live a split life, there are two types of bipolar disorder:

TYPE 1: mania and depression
TYPE 2: hypo mania and longer periods of depression

People who have bipolar disorder, are normal, regular every day, functioning people. But with a disorder like this, it might make relationships difficult to bear, and if not treated the manic episodes, could get worse over time.

Bipolar disorder can be treated with therapy and medicine, but the most important cure is understanding from the loved ones around them. Kindness and compassion, and personally, the ability and the strength to want to get better one day.

It’s not easy and I admit that, things don’t always get better, sometimes it just gets easier. If you or anyone you know, is suffering from bipolar disorder, I hope you have someone there for you, you’re never alone
