Do you think bipolar can/has/will affect your academic and/career success?

Bipolar can be a debilitating illness, so I've been told. But I wonder how true that is in terms of career.

E.g. someone with schizophrenia may have aspirations to be a physicist, but their mental health may impact their ability to function and succeed at that goal.

• Do you think people with bipolar face certain issues that make it less likely for them to succeed in their career?
• What is your percentage of likelihood of accomplishing professional success?
• What do you think people with bipolar should be more realistic about?
