It has never been confirmed she has Bipolar. I am almost certain it's more serious otherwise someone would have spilled the beans years ago.
I'm low on time but I wanted to get something out there for you.
1. Not sure what you mean by "more serious." Bipolar I is pretty darn serious, what were you thinking of?
Subset: Reason's I think BS is bipolar I. Admitedtly, I have never examined her.
1. She was at the average age of onset for a manic episode.
2. She became psychotic, shaved her head, and ran off with a bizarre companion choice. Let us assume hypersexuality.
3. She was hospitalized for a long period of time afterwards and her father became her fiduciary. To take away someone's rights to manage millions of dollars is no small feat. A judge must have had serious concern.
4. There is an obvious change in her personality before the 2007 event and afterwards. This change can be seen in how dull and non-emotional she appears, these can be side effects of bipolar drugs.
5. She put on a lot of weight after being hospitalized in 2007. Weight gain is a side effect of bipolar drugs.
Counter Questions:
1. Can we accept BS is bipolar I or does this need further discussion?
2. If we cannot accept the premise in question one then what mental illness would you propose for the 2007 breakdown period and behaviors subsequent to that?
3. Which side do you want to take here? BS will or will not have another breakdown? I am good taking either one.
