To people without disabilities things are taken for granted, such as being able to recognize when someone's face says that they are happy, sad, angry, etc. I find it odd and interesting that bipolar children can't distinguish between facial emotions. Like I have said before, the brain is an amazing thing, and people should take these people into consideration when they complain about their own lives.
Bipolar Disorder is a really serious thing, but I know a lot of people who just say they have it when they are really just moody. It's really annoying. Like my cousin, she sucks.
I think I once heard that you are bipolar if your actions actually affect your social life. But who says what "affects" and what not? I mean who draws the line?
