#49: Bipolar Challenges
The intention behind this rule was undoubtedly noble, aiming to protect vulnerable minds from unnecessary labels and potential stigmatization. However, an unforeseen catastrophe unfolded in the pursuit of safeguarding their well-being. The door to successful treatment closes when young people are denied the correct diagnosis and support, leaving them to struggle with unfamiliar emotional instability.
What could have been a lifeline of understanding and guidance turned into a labyrinth of confusion and misdirection. The problem is that untreated illnesses cause devastation and unleash the full anger of undiagnosed fights, with repercussions affecting their lives and those around them. Hopefully, this rule will be analyzed and reviewed for future generations.
