Mental HEALTH Discrimination or Advanced Delusionary Schizophrenia With Involuntary Narcissistic Rage

They like to say mental health to imply vitality and positivity, but no, let's be clear, it's mental "illness". Mental "health" is just psychology's modern, politically correct, euphemism meant to manipulate society into using a positive term/label to unknowingly bring about humanization and faux acceptance, i.e. special, gifted children, handicapable, and my personal happier label, bipolar. That rephrasing really helped break the cycle of the negative stygma surrounding the term manic-depression. They just made the term shorter so the media can really get the ever-popular, socal-pariah/might-snap-at-any-second/murder-suicidEE inflections just right when saying "BipolAR"!!

Honestly, if mental health was so healthy or viewed positively, a larger percentage of the mentally ill wouln't have to hide their health from family and friends and fake Facebook friends that only need you to get the cool tractor in Farmville.

What's your damn point you say? Relax, we are only 300 words in! It is currently acceptable morally, ethically, and finacially, to differentiate between mental and pysical healh to treat, compensate, cover, etc.

Blue Cross Blue Shield, likely the top "health" insurance provider, pays different percentage amounts under the same policy for the same premium. I had coverage at 80% paid Heath coverage, yet under same policy I was only cover 50% for Psychiatric appointmts, only $20 per therapy session, and a low per year cap. And that was 2 years ago, but when I was diagnosed in '05 the divisions were even larger in contrast.

Standard Insurance is/soon to be, was, my short-term/long-term disability supplier. Under their policy a physical disability exists as long as you are physically disabled, but mental illness has a timelimit no matter if your Dr and Government consider you disabled. Typical. Insurance companies are organized crime syndicates. A rep called me and left a voicemail and he said, (I'm paraphrasing but in no way changing intent) we understand bipolar disorder but we are wondering if you have any physical issue limiting your ability to find employment, and we would need these Drs' info if that be the case. I then received a letter stating that they are closing my case in June because their policy doesn't cover mental and medical disability for the same time period.

I don't really know what to do. It all just makes me think of the disorder that Jim Carrey's character Hank had in Me, Myself, and Irene: Advanced Delusionary Schizophrenia With Involuntary Narcissistic Rage. Is that fuckin' physical enough fuckface? Or do we need to get more physical than that punk? Sorry, that was the Hank persona. And still good ol' rational Ash. Physical? Really! How about my brain, which is made up of matter, (Real Actual, Factual, PHYSICAL matter - opposite of the empty amoral skulls of the cold, dead ethics of your policy lawyers. ) doesn't work like a normal healthy human's. How about this for a physical impairment limiting my ability to procure gainful employment. Neurons communicate by sending and receiving electrical and chemical signals/stimuli via neurotransmitters communicating at a synapse point between those two neurons. That was a healthy example of how neurons control who and what we are to a certain extent as their healthy communication is responsible for thoughts, feelings, emotions, the Centrol Nevious System. Neurons are actually the lagest structures in the human body. They are made up of pysical material called neural cells and make up the CNS which control everything, including emotions, depression, rage, mania, sleep normalcy, obsessions, creativity, impetuousness spontaneity, lust, concentration, apathy, sympathy, empathy, grandiosity, fleeting thoughts, anxiety, conspiracy theories including co workers collusion, delusions, voices in head, addictive tenadencies, OCD like obsessing, emotional immaturity. There a thousands of these clogged neurons misfiring every second in the bipolar brain. These non-communicating neurotransmitters can't pass on this information at correct ratios and/or they build up mass amounts of process chemicals. Both of those aforementioned physical malfunctioning bipolar neurotransmitters manifest physically some or many of the bipolar characteristics as we try to function in a world that considers us scary and disenfranchises us with unfounded stereotypes. Meds can help by releasing or blocking these chemical and informantion, yet nothing is a cure-all and there is always relapse.



Quick analogy of an example of Physically Unhealthy communication between 2 malfuncting/non-reciprocating neurotransmitters: Our hands (neurotransmitters) coming together to meet palms in the middle (synapse) to recipricate normal healthy physical communication (neurotransmission).

My hand: opened, is prepared to give and receive stimuli, which is normal.

Your hand: closed, unprepared to give and receive stimuli, which is "not" normal.

Stimuli: goodfaith coverage. In other words, open your scroogesque, unethical corporate hand and give me my damn money!

I think I will call and get a copy of the policy from Standard. I feel like writing my Congressman and Governor about toleration and blindeye this Country has towards mental illness.
