I have bipolar disorder, so the image is a
bit disconcerting... but you did a great job
with it, and captured at least two of the
many mood states that a bipolar person can
experience. People with bipolar can in fact
experience both those states at the same
time.
The term "bipolar" is somewhat
controversial among those who have the
illness, as it tends to over-simplify the
illness. Bipolar disorder (also known as
Manic Depression) is extremely complex and
is not simply an up/down illness. It kills a
great number of people each year due to
suicide.
Yes I know, while I don't have bipolar or
know a lot about it, I do know that it's not
simply black and white. It was more an image
associated with the disorder, rather than
making a 100% accurate representation.
I was diagnosed as bipolar a few years ago,
and anything that gets people talking about
or thinking about is a good thing. it's a
good thing for art to do.
