According to the National Institute for Mental Health, Bipolar Disorder Affects Over 2 million People in the U.S.
Bipolar disorder is a mental condition that results in extreme emotional changes and mood swings. Doctors even attribute the condition to alcohol and drug abuse as a way for patients to self-medicate.
Because of the extreme effects of the disorder, the Social Security Administration recognizes it as a disability and therefore will financially support an individual diagnosed with the condition. However, in order to be eligible for benefits, the SSA requires that the individual get regular treatment and visits a mental health clinic for counseling and medication.
