It seems almost automatic - in the threads about that wrestler who killed his family, it's been suggested that maybe he's bi-polar. That's the one I see a lot lately - someone commits a crime and they "must" be bi-polar. As a bi-polar, that bugs me. The only person I've ever been a danger to is myself and I think that's the case with most bp's.
It just continues to put a stigma on people who have enough misinformation about them out there and enough crap to deal with just getting through their lives.
