Is bipolar disorder real?
-
2018-02-13 at 8:51 PM UTCSome guy I chill with sometimes is prescribed lithium for bipolar. He doesn't take the meds. He has random aggressive/suicidal fits, so he's obviously unstable. But I've never met anyone I could actually classify as a manic episode, unless they were on meth. Is bipolar a real disorder or a blanket excuse to medicate moody people with neuroleptics?

Both
Bipolar brains differ to normal brains as seen with MRI scans
However it is almost certain that a number of those diagnosed with bipolar are just emotional little bitches
However it can be argued that having bipolar is synonymous with being an emotional little bitch anyway

but someone who is dysfunctional enough to be diagnosed with anything is going to have different MRI scans automatically. are the MRIs of diagnosed bipolars actually distinguishable from some other mental illnesses? -

I'm gonna go with no since the etiology of bipolar, bpd, schizophrenia and general psychosis overlap -

actually most mental illnesses have significant overlap, and there's no reason to distinguish between diagnoses, and instead doctors should focus on treating individual symptoms than imaginary constructs
the DSM handing out diagnoses has created a whole generation of special snowflakes who define their entire personality by a short label -

If you really believe this I think you should make it the focus of your education/career. Change the world man. -

I think its real as I am diagnosed with bipolar and have had manic episodes where no drugs were involved. And I used to work as a nursing assistant with hardcore cases of bipolar and it was more than just someone being a lil moody
but at the same time I believe many people are diagnosed with it that aren't.
