    If you’re bipolar II, then you’ve never had a manic episode. People in a severe manic episode (bipolar I) very commonly experience psychosis and go down conspiratorial rabbit holes around politics, race, religion, etc. that they 100% would not have otherwise gone down

      I’m a therapist, and bipolar is one of my specialties. Had quite a few type I clients, not a single one called themselves a Nazi.

      I get your point, I really do, but I think the dude just might be a Nazi regardless of whether he has bipolar.

        It’s really gross people use my disabilities to explain someone is a Nazi.

        I think he’s a Nazi because he follows their ideas and says he is. Not because he’s bipolar. Like every other political idology.
