“I like listening to this podcast and hearing the different theories the hosts have- it's interesting to compare to my own ideas. Last week there was a lot of talk about the accuracy of the bipolar depiction- as someone who has relatives with this disease, the depiction of bipolar is dead-on in my opinion.
Maybe the hosts could do a little research online about bipolar instead of just guessing or basing their opinion on the tv show alone? That way they could feel more confident when speaking about it? Part of what makes the show fascinating is the inclusion of this story line and the way it affects Carrie. Her behaviors are text book bipolar type I symptoms. I think the hosts would get a lot more out of the show if they read up a bit on this disease.
I really like the show and hope the hosts won't take this as an insult. I just know that they are generally right about the bipolar assumptions and it stinks that people are calling them out claiming that 'all bipolar people aren't that way.' Of course they aren't! But a lot are just like Carrie. We can all learn a lot about this disease from the show.”
