Now for those who may say that a bipolar episode is not insanity, I would insist that you alter your thinking. Such episodes (swings) are nothing less than insanity. Just look at the chaos brought about by my harsh words. And that was a very mild episode too- not close (by a mile) to a full fledge event.
A bipolar person goes from sanity, to a manic state, to a dark mood (depression) in a short time. If that is not insanity I do not know what is. And to say that such a person is completely responsible for his/her actions is ludicrous and unjust. Just ask a judge of law.

Actually, the insanity defense is one that is rarely upheld int he courts. It is extremely difficult to defend someone under this defense, and the only times it has been applicable have been in the case of complete psychotic breaks. Bi-polar disorder does not manifest with complete psychotic breaks.
This post is just another example of your refusal to accept respsonsibility for both your disorder and your errors in judgement. Until you are able to do that, I can't see you gainfully employed in any field, much less one that requires service to others.
