Yes, the comments were sad.

Quote:

You often hear of "nervous breakdowns" but social breakdown can be just as traumatic for sufferers of bipolar. Career disruption, relationship break-ups, even bankruptcy and homelessness can all be consequences. Suicide rates are also 15% higher among people with the disorder.

I wish that journalists would be more careful with this 15% number.
I spent a few nights researching this and could not find science for this.

The best source I could find said that 15% are due to untreated bipolar, but I don't know.
