You can work out, have a cheap physical (BTW, the price of a physical doubled since 2008) each year, you can eat healthy and control what you do and get yourself into activity wise. We are all entitled to be healthy today. Whether you want live healthy or not is a matter of choice?
How about hard luck situations? My youngest sister and I have bipolar disorder and I would think most of society would like us both to take our meds. Then there little details like accidents, other genetic FUBARS like muscular dystrophy, autism spectrum disorder, ataxia, crime victim, PTSD, etc.
The most effective, proven medication for bipolar is lithium, which is less than $20 a month.
