It's really easy to obtain a diagnosis of bipolar disorder. Now what happens when a family member, spouse or romantic partner has a motive to get you labeled as 'mentally ill'? They can easily frame their behavior in a way to meet criteria for mania or hypomania.

There are so many people placed on drugs in the United States we have no idea if they are emotionally struggling with the original problem that brought them into the system in the first place... or adverse drug reactions.

Psychiatry’s understanding of the brain and psyche is so primitive. The most ethical ones acknowledge this. The most harmful act as if they have “medicines” to treat their version of mental illness and fail to acknowledge their limitations and substantial risks. Those…
