As someone diagnosed with bipolar who does Mental Health and Disabilities activism, often via challenging stereotypes by having people let loose, Sheen’s high-flown mania was sort of fun to witness…like “do I do that?” (Urkel voice). We in the community have discussed it, though, and generally don’t want to claim him. He had nothing remotely okay to say for people with real mental health problems, and that’d be fine if he’d actually taken the time to insult us more creatively, but his metaphors betrayed his mediocrity. Maybe threshold disorganized schizophrenia is his correct DX?

Nah, I think this is to be a new entry in the DSM: Nepotistic Sub-Mediocrity Half-Man Two Halves Coke-burnout Lacking-Personality Disorder, Subtype: The Sequel, dual diagnosis: Prosi Addiction. Meh. Celebrities just don’t know how to go crazy with as much flair as the plebes do–it must be all that method acting limitation and inner-PR.

Regarding this, he seems to be having a manic episode and the low is going to suck bad for him. I also hate to see people relishing or admiring this but it does fit with the times of pop culture that we live in. People LOVE trashy. The heartening thing is that every trend reaches an apex and then goes to the exact opposite so I am hoping it means real art and quieter times will be what we focus on.
