Though most people will experience mental illness in some variation throughout their lives, it can be difficult to understand what is going on inside of a person’s head when they stray from what is considered to be the norm.

The reality is that bipolar disorder, much like any condition, is not a flaw in a person, but rather a peculiarity in the human system that can be addressed and worked with in order to manage it in a way that helps them to best interact with the systems already in place.
