I'm Bipolar - About the parents.


People, stop blaming the parents, because it was not their fault.

As a 21 years old bipolar, I can relate to Evan's condition, and I can say that, no matter how much my parents try, no matter how much I take my medication right, no matter how much people tend to support me, I still feel the desire to die, and I know that, one day, I'll do it.

So please, stop blaming the parents, it was not their fault and, as the doctor said, bipolarity is the cancer of psychiatry, the death can only be delaied, but there'll be a day when it will came.

I can't understand how anyone could blame his parents; it's insensitive and cruel.

Agree, who would blame his parents? It's not like he was unruly, he was mentally ill. Most likely he was born that was or had a genetic predisposition. His parents seemed supportive, better than mine would be.
