Could it be a rise in demon possession? Just a thought.
I am embarrassed to admit this and I suppose I may get a flame or two....but my daughter early on learned about this bipolar thing and since she doesn’t work and has managed to get Social security.
I don’t believe there’s a thing wrong with her and yes, it’s been the source of much angst in my life. See, I CAUGHT her faking.
I wrote a book about it.
You can’t prove bipolar folks.
why izzit?
that every child needs braces - per the orthodontist?
that everybody who wears glasses NOW needs bifocals - per Optamologists?
that every child is bi-polar - per the psych-types?
do I see a pattern here?
I always thought that was the normal status of teenagers and it left them when they finally grew up.
Of course, it could be all the new illegals too.
Hey Vets are doing the same thing with pets. There are all sorts of exciting new diseases for dogs and cats that require prescription foods, regular medication, constant care and of course now FEMA evacuation plans.
End of story.
like autism, a side effect to all of those vaccinations?
This is another “mental illness” scam and a great way to get on SS disability and Medicaid.
Soon there will be no sane, healthy people left and that’s just the way the socialists want it.
I imagine its the new in disease. ADHD has already outlived its usefulness.

Yes, seems like the medical community found a way around CHILD DISCIPLINE, now it will be something else.
or bipolar disorder is currently being overdiagnosed in this age group.
with PLENTY of help and motivation from big pharma
I think “bi-polar” is a crap diagnosis....it is non-specific and therefore misused on a grand scale.......not so long ago, it was merely a PC disguise for genuine manic-depression. Big pharma and other all-too-willing cottages industries greatly benefit financially from the hoax of “bipolar”. Geez, different moods are part of the human condition.
Its probably something more simple but more sinister. I bet the doctors got a kickback for prescribing a drug for this problem. More people have the problem, more kickback.
It’s overdiagnosis, imho.
I've always heard kids who act up called "brats". Similarly, when it's hot in the summer it's called "July" or "August", not "Global Warming"......
these illegal aliens, have got to be the most ill people I have ever met. bankrupting our health care system, as well as attending their clinicas (mostly unlicsensed, clinics).
Let’s see. Saturday night after the BC win and a Red Sox No-Hitter I was very happy. Now, the Tuesday after the long Labor Day weekend I’m at work and it’s just not the same. What is my major malfunction?
