If there is a button, will you press it?

The BBC documentary Stephen Fry: The Secret Life if the Manic Depressive removes all the dramatic elements and frankly describes the current status of life of patients with bipolar disorder.

For bipolar disorder, people who have not experienced it often have the wrong perception. For example, as mentioned in the documentary, bipolar disorder patients are widely considered very, very depressed. What they don’t know, however, is the emotions that people with bipolar disorder can perceive during hyperactivity.

When they are extremely excited, they are efficient, inspired, and have far better perception than normal people. The happiness they can reap is beyond anyone’s imagination. Some people with bipolar disorder turned it to their superpower, such as uncle Fry who used bipolar disorder as a source of creative passion and talent in the documentary.

But some people think bipolar disorder is cool, and this concept is quite one-sided either. A large number of patients with bipolar disorder choose to commit suicide during the painful depression period. After experiencing the highlights of exhilaration, they fell into a trough. Douban users “will not accept” commented: At the time you have to struggle to breathe, a little comfortable way will make you abandon the so-called self-esteem like a dog. “

Kitano Takeshi said that though life is hard, I want it to be boiling.
