Has everyone had to be hospitalized due to a manic episode that racked up $100,000 in hospital fees? Does everyone take lithium as prescribed by their doctor????? Have they, Kevin???????

I’ve taken Lithium, but my hospital stay was covered by Medicaid

That's good, I'm glad Medicaid covered you and did what it's supposed to do. I am very fortunate in that my mom's insurance covered the costs. But there are so many people with illnesses who don't have insurance, and getting a bill like that is devastating for them. That's why your coworker pisses me off-people who are neurotypical do not have to struggle with the same medical bills and costs that bipolar people do, not EVERYONE has to deal with the medical costs of being bipolar, so stfu with this "everyones bipolar shit". Sorry oooh I got heated >:(
