Desensitized or over stimulated [BIPOLAR]

Are people who are bipolar sufferers over stimulated?  Are we desensitized by being subject to a barrage of everything?

I think we need to be.  Sufferers generally behave better, when they ARE over stimulated.
I currently have 3 monitors going at one time, I'd have 4 going at the same time, but the physical space is currently being taken up by a dot matrix printer.

Sufferers, some part of their minds are always running 90 miles an hour.  Which part, is always shifting, but the fact that some part is always running that fast, makes them able to handle multiple streams of information simultaneously.  Letting a sufferer overstimulate themselves, will NOT make them start misbehaving, say, act 90 miles an hour while at the same time being negative, so if the sufferer has a bad side that is really horrible, letting them multitask will NOT push them into bad behavior.
By letting them overstimulate themselves, they will occupy themselves, and maintain what current state of mind they are currently in.
If you deny the sufferer their desired input, of all sorts of visual stimulation or other kinds of simultaneous stimulation you will aggrivate them.

Once they become aggrivated, they will shift their focus.
Depending on how high functioning they are as bipolar sufferers, they could either sulk, which is harmless, or they could immediately jump into that part of themselves, which is horrible, or at least borders on horrible.

All of this things should be overseen by what is called a "Trustee" to the bipolar sufferer.
A trustee should be able to listen to the sufferer and be willing to plead the 5th Amendment in a court hearing if necessary.
Alot of law and legal practices lean towards spoken word as intent.
Conversations between the sufferer and the trustee should remain in absolute secrecy.
No one should assume anything said by the sufferer, as a threat or intent, only their actions should be counted.
A very low functioning bipolar sufferer will speak, scream and shout things, but none of it should be considered intent.
A sufferer of such low functioning, either already has medical supervision to protect themselves, or the trustee should look into whether that is necessary.
