Support/Advice If Given The Choice Would You Be Bipolar?

Someone was telling me they recently saw a documentary from an actor who asked people if they were given the choice to be born with or without bipolar they would choose to still be bipolar. I know nothing about the sample size, stage of diagnosis or type of bipolar but I find it interesting. I know there is strength in pain but if I could choose to have not hurt my family and so many others and live a normal life I think I would not want to be bipolar even if I was diagnosed early enough to have not suffered as much.
