If you look up the definition for "Bi Polar" it literally looks to me like it includes absolutely everyone I know, including some highly functional and responsibly motivated people. We go through peaks and valleys in life, If all modern psychiatry does is seek to drive profit and to generalize conditions across very different people to gaslight and create paranoia for profit, its a highly problematic threat towards our future.
This is primarily why people getting a psychology bachelor's degree are explicitly instructed not to diagnose. Much like a radiologist needs to practice reading scans before they can distinguish between healthy and normal, it takes time and effort to realize how bipolar disorder differs from normal people's presentation.
The point of the vague definitions is to allow for the complexity of people; there's a way in which clinically bipolar people are different from the norm. The condition exists even if we can't figure out how to word the diagnosis yet.
Most modern software design involves emotional and psychological manipulation now more than ever.
Because of the nature of how much social media and software drives our lives now, it's embedded deeply into emotionally manipulating people more than ever, and it complicates human psychology greatly. The best treatment for some afflictions is often to disconnect from toxic Internet resources rather than taking a pill. It's evidenced by Trump being off of Twitter for example, as the entire tone of the platform and even Trump changed when he was banned... As you can see though, people who want to profit off his narcissism work hard to try to drive him back to wild public statements and towards posting on Twitter again. Profitmaking drives a lot of negative behavior and toxicity these days in people, and often the things that drive harmful behavior can't be fixed with antidepressants.
The mental health industry should be making serious moves in countering and calling out the negative aspects of psych manipulation like that more than ever.
