not maybe full bipolar, but they're in the bipolar spectrum —

Your call. Your call.

But maybe it just means

你对于大多数人所看不到或所感知到的东西反而更加敏感。
Maybe no one's really crazy.
或许没有人是真正的疯狂。
Everyone is just a little bit mad.
每个人只是有点狂。
How much depends on where you fall in the spectrum.
多大程度上，这取决于你深陷这人格频谱的程度。
How much depends on how lucky you are.
