Question

I was just diagonsed with bi polar does that make me a bad person?>?

Answer 1

Of course not! Just because you have a certain disorder does not be you are a bad person, everybody has issues. Some issues may be worse than others, but we all have them. I have ADHD and anxiety, that does not make me a bad person, I just have some issues that need to be resolved. That's all. Why would you ever think that? You cannot help that you have this, it's simply something that is out of your hands and you cannot control.  

Answer 2

That doesn't make you a bad person. It is a condition that you have no control over and can be treated with medication.

Answer 3

No.  Bi-polar is a personality disorder which can affect many.  Be aware that ADD or ADAH and Diabetes 1 can be misdiagnosed as Bi-polar.  My symptoms started when I was in my teens.

Only now after four hospitalizations an din my senior year, i was finally diagnosed as being bi-polar.  And with meds, my symptoms are under control.  

No, being bi-polar doesn't you make you a bad person.  Actually more compassionate for the plight of others.  .
