Bipolar Symptoms


What's with all the celebrities coming out as bipolar lately? Catherine Zeta-Jones, Demi Lovato, Vincent Van Gogh and... more? I'm sure there are more.
Is manic depression the new black, you think? Are we going to see it all over that rack of Us Weekly at the supermarket checkout counter? In the event that you have a pal who's dying to copycat the celebrity trend, here's a real quick way to figure out if your friend's actually bipolar or just having a bad week. Or BSing because she's a tool who wants to be just like Demi Lovato.
Two important components:
  • Is she sad and anxious 50% of the time? Like, can't-leave-her-house, watching-6-hours-of-Law & Order: SVU-at-a-time, sweatpants-sad. Does she not want to have sex anymore? Does she have a hard time concentrating on anything? Does she wash her hair anymore?
  • Is she spending all her money, looking great and laughing a lot the other 50% of the time? Is she banging everyone? Does she talk about being "chosen" or what "the special mission" is for her life?
