[QUOTE="Fran, post: 83118, member: 3"] I saw previews of Oprah with Sinead O'Connor and her diagnosis of bipolar. It certainly isn't a surprise. I haven't watched it though. It is good to pull diagnosis' out of the mental illness closet. As long as it's mysterious it makes mental illness scary and almost untouchable. We all know differently. Almost everyone is touched by mental illness in themselves, their families or extended family. It's only untouchable because it's kept hidden. So whatever their reasoning for coming forward, more power to them. Same with children who suffer neuropsychiatric disorders. No hiding them or making excuses for their developmental lags. They are who they are. They have value and worth and are entitled to living a life free of ignorant judgements. [/QUOTE]
