You know at first I wasn't going to comment on this either, but I gotta tell you that comment really pi$$es me off. Perhaps I am super-sensitive about this, but bipolar disorder is no laughing matter. Of course, I'm not a doctor, but neither is Felder. I also acknowledge that Felder knows Glenn a lot better than I do, that's for sure. But I can tell you, as someone who deals with bipolar disorder every day, I have learned a lot about it, and it is an extremely serious psychotic disease. I think it is extremely irresponsible for Felder to make such a flippant public comment about such a serious mental illness. As I have mentioned before, my mother has Alzheimer's, and like many people with this disease, she has also developed bipolar disorder. What I have learned is that this disease is not just about people who have mood swings, anxiety, or get depressed. It is uncontrolled, irrational, and severe anxiety and manic depression frequently accompanied by paranoia, hallucinations, and delusions. These symptoms are so extreme that they can be easily detected even by a casual observer. Most victims of this disorder have a difficult time functioning in normal society. I don't claim to know Glenn, but I have observed him enough to say that I would doubt that he is bipolar. My personal observation is that he possibly may be moody and impatient, but I have never seen the slightest indications of bipolar behavior. I'm not saying it's impossible, but I think it would be wise if everyone, including Felder, would leave the diagnosis to the doctors.
