This is a very good article, and I sympathize greatly with the author. It is definitely an authentic experience, and I join her in decrying the medicalization of mental and behavioral health. One quibble I have, however, is her calling out Katy Perry for using the term "bipolar" frivolously. On the contrary, Katy was married for two years to Russell Brand, who has a bona fide diagnosis of bipolar disorder, plus several other serious mental disorders. I often watch Katy's video for "Hot N Cold" because it rings so true in terms of outsiders affected by someone who suffers from bipolar disorder.
