One of the times I was hospitalized for major depression, a couple of the people on my floor had bipolar. They were both really interesting people and we had some long and enjoyable talks about what their illness was like.

It became very clear to me that it's really hard to convince somebody with that illness, which I gather would include Ye, to get treatment. The way manic episodes were described to me made me kind of want one myself. My fellow patients told me how it made them more confident, socially powerful, more intelligent, more persuasive, and so on. Of course, I'm aware of the drawbacks; both were there only because they'd been arrested and the court sent them there. One planned to stay on the meds, but the other couldn't wait to get out and stop taking the pills.

So how the heck do you help a guy who's sick but refuses to accept that, and is simultaneously quite wealthy? And from the looks of it, uses some of that money to buy a herd of "friends" who will never contradict hih?
