In 2006, the soap writers made the decision that Sonny would have bipolar, as well.
It is never manipulated for drama in the way that soaps sometimes treat other illnesses.

“When I first got into acting people had told me not to talk about being bipolar.
And of course, I was young, and I listened,” he said.
“I got a letter from a boy.

He said that by reading what I wrote, it helped him deal.
And then I decided at that point I will not shut up.
And I haven’t shut up for over 30 years,” he said.

Talk to a therapist.
You go through the darkness and you get to the light.
You will be better because of it.”
