I have bipolar disorder. Can we declassify it as a mental illness? I don't want to deal with stigma

i think this is the problem we have now it can be a slippery slope from here on out

when something that's an anomaly occurs in someone it's typically referred to as such

yes there can be stigma's with such a label but it's not exactly easy to try and say feeling like you were born the wrong gender is normal

when some people are just hotwired differently than the average person

but for whatever reason people think a disorder means that person is some deranged psychopath and is off their rocker

when did we get to the point where all disorders mean said person is a crazy person?

it's that kind of mindset that leads to people not wanting disorders to be classified as such
