A loved one of mine has struggled with schizoaffective disorder bipolar type for a few years, though they've finally found a combination of meds that works well enough for them. I don't think that is an unfair characterization—I've known them for around 15 years and seeing how much they were struggling was heartbreaking. I'm no stranger to mental illness. I've struggled with suicidal ideation linked to depression and cPTSD, and have been involuntarily hospitalized a few times. But there's mental illness and then there's mental illness.
