The BBC are showing a season of documentaries of how how various mental health issues affect young people. The Bipolar one is about Frank Bruno. If this disorder affects 1 in 100 people, what's it king being shown on BBC three. Surely these issues should be on BBC One, not hidden away?

Psst. BBC Three is a channel aimed at young people.
Bi polar is not an illness, it's an excuse for people feeling sorry for themselves. Same as under active thyroid gland for fat people, that's just an over active jawbone for fatties who eat too much.

As someone in a relationship with someone diagnosed with Bi-polar one, (look it up, assuming your ignorance allows you to use the internet and books) I cannot tell you how wrong you are. She has 5-6 episodes a year, and they are incredibly testing times. I consider her lucky in that its very rare for her mania to be followed by depression. Im trying to think of a suitable insult for you, but to be honest, you just aren't worth it. My partner is worth ten of you.

We know a family where one partner is bi-polar (I'm afraid I don't know any further definition). That means episodes as you describe, which have included suicide attempts. They're incredibly lucky to have a remarkably tolerant partner and employer. But as you rightly stress, it's far from some sort of self-indulgent behaviour.
