I work full time as a teacher in a secondary school.On the whole my illness does not effect my weekly routine of work as I have learnt to manage it. There is no reason why someone with bi-polar should be considered at risk by a future employer - no more so than any other employee who may be at rish from physical or mental illness. With insight, bi-polar sufferers are more likely to be conscientious, take care of their health and manage stress better than others as they no the consequences may be a relapse. In the 6 yrs since my initial diagnosis, I have had one episode which required a period of absence. Once there is more understanding about the illness people will be less likely to judge people with this disability, unfairly. I have bi-polar.
