Is mental illness a diability? Well the short answer is YES! But it took me a LONG way to get to that short answer when answering for myself. If anyone else was to ask me if mental illness is a disability I would say "of course". But if they were to say "is YOUR mental illness a disability" then I would most likely have said no.

There's many reasons for this. But the two I boil it down to are not wanting to detract from people with "genuine disabilities" and the other being a strong dollop of interalised stigma.

It's no good me confronting these things in others if I am not to confront them in myself. So this episode is a declaration of a line in the sand. I am Dave, I have bipolar disorder, I am disabled and I am proud.
