ShrinkI don't like this word because it actually downplays the importance of the role of the doctor in helping a person with bipolar. Not to mention it demeans a doctor. I prefer doctor, therapist or psychiatrist.

'Just one of her/his moods'An awful phrase people throw around as an accusation every time someone diagnosed as having bipolar expresses an honest emotion they don't happen to like. For instance, if your sister who has bipolar says she doesn't like the new guy you're dating because he's rude to you, and you decide 'she's just having one of her moods,' instead of accepting her opinion as valid.

MedsI don't like this word. I think it minimizes a really important thing. I prefer medication.

Hyped upI don't like this term because I think it is demeaning. It suggests in my opinion that behavior is not based on a medical problem.

'I am bipolar'This suggests that you are entirely bipolar. Has anyone ever come up to you and said, 'Hi, I am cancer or diabetes?' I prefer someone to say 'I have bipolar.'
