One meaningless label is as meaningless as the next.<br /><br />I'm confused by the assertion that "the implication seem to be that Fry's problems, which may have previously been put down to his personality, are now seen as being due to a real mental illness" ... what? cyclothymia is somehow now related to an individual's personality? And Fry's problems "tend to be internal to himself", whereas Alika's are what? Not internal to himself? <br />Very muddled post. <br /><br />Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02627205272554116112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18614557.post-61464146515047173512016-03-01T14:58:30.644+00:002016-03-01T14:58:30.644+00:00The EastEnders TV soap, as part of its self-procla...The EastEnders TV soap, as part of its self-proclaimed commitment to increase the awareness towards mental illness and management of mental illness, constantly shows the miracle of medication and disasters of stopping those pills. <br /><br />In bracket, the bipolar patient delivers her child at the Nativity performance, coincident with the birth of Jesus Christ, and the her crisis episode is the delusion of her child being the son of god the promised resurrection of Christ.<br /><br />That has been so dramatized that all the audience automatically reach to the conclusion that the real story of Jesus Christ had been actually the delusion of Mary in a bipolar episode.<br /><br />Among many examples of paranoia, (e.g., the mentally ill become deluded that she is Margaret Thatcher and gives birth to Tony Blair) BBC has decided to select such story to follow both duties of promoting its Satanist mission as the Anti-Christ and all paraphernalia of modern Satanism such as disease-mongering and medicalisation of population in face of social problems that we see in The EastEnders.<br /><br />Regretfully I have not seen even one case that people or learned people or assorted defenders of church or social justice notice such a sly scheme.
