We meet a lot of cultures, where there is this nasty stigma that is stuck to the phrase “mental illness, bipolar victim or Im a Psycho.” If people hear you have a “mental illness” or tell them “Hi! I’m bipolar!” their first reaction can be shown in their eyes and then their body. Without thinking their body language will be slightly tense and tend to back away. In some cases even people who you consider to be friends tell you that they cannot handle it and leave after the disclosure. But there are others who will stick by your side through the nightmares that occasionally rear its ugly head. Adolescent bipolar victims need to stick with these friends who will stay in there for the good times and when bipolar symptoms are showing its worst effects.
