I down voted for science denial, bipolar is absolutely a thing and is problematic for almost everyone with it or related to someone with it. The statement there’s nothing wrong is the same mentality of “I don’t see color” if you don’t acknowledge the issue those who need support won’t get it, your comment is ableist in its denial.

Bipolar disorder(s) is very distinct to borderline personality disorder, and to the extent of my limited understanding the management is more reliable in the right social circumstances.

I assumed BPD but yes, I agree, both are real and saying otherwise and acting like getting care is a scam is an ableist perspective be it bipolar or borderline

Oh yes multiple personality disorder was once a thing...

So was Asperger's, Hysteria, lunatic, Retarded, Imbecile, Vapours, etc.

So you basically down voted out of ignorance of the point. To top it off you accused him of ableism. Complete bullshit.
