> His collaborators also consistently cited his bipolar disorder as an excuse for whatever he did. I think this is deeply unfair to Reitz, and to everyone struggling with mental health issues.

He's right it's completely unfair to others with bipolar disorder (can't speak for other mental illnesses). If you take you take your medication, go to therapy, practice CBT, and stay sober you can live a normal life. Don't get me wrong, it's hard work and expensive.

I have no idea what Kenneth's situation is and I'm not excusing any of the alleged behavior, I'm just asking that others not to assume automatically all others successfully treating bipolar disorder (1 or 2) are up to no good.
