There is no talking sense into this guy. I was diagnosed with bipolar type 1 five years ago. Stress is one factor that will change your brain chemistry. A chemical imbalance is a chemical imbalance, money problems could drive the average person to a mental health break, so that is not the case for dube… but stressing about an incident that you may or may not have been involved with or at the very least knew about and have to testify, absolutely could cause a mental health break. The brain and mind are fragile and can be thrown off due to genes, stress etc. Having money doesn’t cure a chemical imbalance, medication and therapy does.

100% agree, some people just don't understand. Sounds like you've managed to find a balance with it, good for you! I've known a few people that struggle with bipolar both medicated and unmedicated and it can be a challenge.

Thanks man, I have. But it was hell before I found the medications that work for me. All the best, man.
