EDIT:News flash, this is humor, a joke list, I pulled it from a joke web site, DO NOT TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY

----We now return to our regularly scheduled programming----

IMPORTANT, PLEASE READ THIS FIRST: If you answer "yes" to two or more of the following items, there is a great chance that you may be suffering from manic depression or another mental illness. If this is the case, please, print out this page and take it to your doctor! Remember, it is you and you alone who really knows yourself well enough and can answer these questions in a totally honest and open manner. Cheating will only hurt yourself and those who are "sane" and need to live with you! It is your health and wellness, an important issue, so please take your time

I have to say, this one isn't so tactful, plus it has absolutely nothing to do with manic-depression.

Umm...no offense, but:

1. This list would more apply to schizophrenia

2. This joke could very easily come off as very offensive to someone who knows people with manic depression (you can infer your own conclusion from this)

Oh, this is no more derogatory than any other kind of humour.. this is just isn't discussed and is therefore regarded as a sensitive topic.

I thought it was funny.. but the jokes remind me more of someone on psycadelics.

Manic Depression's touching my soul,
I know what I want,
but I just don't know how to go about getting it.
Feeling, sweet feeling
drops from my finger, fingers
Manic Depression's captured my soul.

Woman so willing the sweet cause in vain,
you make love,
you break love,
it's-a all the same when it's...
when it's over.

Music sweet music,
I wish I could caress, caress, caress.
Manic Depression's a frustrating mess.
Well, I think I'll go turn myself off an' go on down.

Really ain't no use me hanging around.
Oh, I gotta see you.

Right, I know it's humor. As it happens, it's tactless humor, plus it doesn't make sense (since none of those items even REMOTELY relate to manic depression - more, as someone said, to psychadelics, if you were going to use them as "funny lines".)
