I hate that bipolar disorder isn’t seen as a disability.

I feel like people see bipolar people as just “crazy” instead of for what it is: a disability, an illness.

Compared to other mental health disorders, it is surrounded by so much stigma. It honestly hurts hearing the way people talk about those with bipolar disorder it is seriously dehumanizing. I feel like if people don’t have someone in their life with bipolar disorder they have absolutely zero understanding about it at all. It’s also frustrating how people assume everyone with bipolar disorder is the same.

EDIT: I feel like some people are misunderstanding this post. I know you can GO ON disability for bipolar, i’m just saying that in general society it’s not SEEN AS a disability.
