I totally agree with you.
You know, I don't know much about mental illness other than depression, but I would think a person has to be sociopathic/psychopathic to actually want to mentally/physically torture another individual like that.
The TV show's portrayal of that woman as bipolar is a huge disservice to everyone. It tries to explain something extremely complex in an inadequately simplistic way. And you're right. More than a few viewers would simply equate bipolar disorder with some weirdo kidnapper chick.
