VICE: Why I’m Glad My Bipolar Dad Was Institutionalized

[mopinko]

1. seems like such a no-brainer.

my sister is in a nursing home. she has ms and was dx'd as bipolar, but i dont think she is really. her daughter was recently dx'd w ms also, and shows the exact same kind of mental symptoms as her mom.
to say my sister's life is misery is an understatement of epic proportion.
she has descended into a little more than vegetative state. but there is just no other place for her to be. her psyche symptoms are what really made it impossible for her to stay at home.
i know her daughter lives in fear of meeting the same fate.

i am encouraged by the recent research into just how the brain works and doesnt work. i hope for a miracle for my niece.

but really, what kind of people are we that we cant fix this problem? just unbearable.
