As someone who is bipolar I feel bad for the ones that just get the depression bits..
Mania or hypermania can be incredible tools for arts and design if harnessed.

When you learn to control yourself on your high bits and learn to live through the low bits you're no longer just "bipolar" but awesome too. :D There is a massive stigma and seemingly taboo bit around mental illness.. Which doesn't make a lick of sense. I'm a firm believer that everyone is nuts in some way.. It's the ones that claim to be normal you gotta watch out for. ;)
