In general when people speak in depth about something like this you can assume they or someone they love suffered from the relevant issues being discussed.

In my case I’m lifelong bipolar disorder and generalized anxiety disorder.

I’m definitely not a doctor. You shouldn’t trust medical/psychiatric information given in any internet comment though.

And to paraphrase the other commenter, “didn’t realize I needed to get your permission to write about something without the proper qualifications”.

I guess I forgot to check with you first
