I said early on in that thread someone should get the guy to the hospital rather than ridicule him on 2p2. I understand why the poster felt threatened but it wasn't the right way to handle it.
A major problem is that the conversation around "mental health" has increasingly focused on anxiety, depression, and burnout. Certainly those are major problems but they can crowd discussion around often more serious mental illness like type 1 bipolar or schizophrenia. People have manic episodes and just think the person is a huge ******* rather than literally delusional.
Bipolar disorder is also notably portrayed where the mania is a fun high, or super creative/productive, and it's the depression to worry about. But for many bipolar people particularly type 1 bipolar disorder, mania is more dangerous than depression People should learn the warning signs of mania and realize that it's often a very dangerous state and warrants hospitalization.

He died almost 2 years ago, why the thread today as if it’s News.
Then again, anything goes for “Posts: 1”.
