I have a close relative with bipolar disorder, classic symptoms, EXCEPT he also has frequent bouts of driving all over the state running from government satellites that are shooting burning beams at him “because of what I know.”

And he has a gun with him.

Yes, we do our dead-level best to keep him contained. At the moment, he is safely tucked away, medicated, and content.

The point is that mental illness is a broad spectrum. A patient can have symptoms of one type and a diagnosis of another. One treatment does not fit all.

Under Obamacare, won’t this become a problem? That treatments and such will become more one size fits all to save money or whatever?

I’m sorry for your relative’s problems.

It seems he should be KEPT safely tucked away and medicated.
