Go to your Doctor, and if they don't take you seriously make them understand. I had 3 years of hell before they finally decided I had bipolar. I don't want that to happen to anyone else.

all the best,

The vid is a good explanation of bipolar depression.

As there are various strains of the disorder, if you are concerned that you may be suffering, bear in mind that symptons may differ. I am a rapid phase, meaning that mood is 'up and down' regularly. The condition is difficult to diagnose however GP's are getting quite used to it and can refer you to a specialist at your local hospital. DO NOT BE AFRAID to discuss your thoughts with the GP.

My sister is bipolar and she is really fun at times but then she is super mean and evil. She sometimes forgets too take her medicine and get really crazy, but thats the fun part

@2hotpaper i have a question, my wife is very explosive, rarely can she have a conversation with out raising her voice, she can be all lovey dovey one moment and the next be yelling obcenities and degrading everyone, its hard for me to say wether its anger or bi polar, but she is very iratable her mood is very gloom, she dont really have depressing symptoms she has a bunch of energy, sometimes she can have a good conversation but very rarely

being correct is also very important to her

The Citizens Commission on Human Rights (CCHR) is a mental health watchdog, responsible for helping to enact more than 150 laws protecting us from abusive or coercive practices.

CCHR has fought to restore human rights to mental health, including, full informed consent regarding the medical legitimacy of psychiatric diagnosis, risks of psychiatric treatments,

and the RIGHT TO REFUSE TREATMENT. I was a victim of psychiatry 4 many years and agree 100% with cchr.org Know your rights

Diabetes and related complications like hyperglycemia, ketoacidosis, pancreatitis, coma, and death. These side effects can develop at any point during treatment, but we know whats best for you. Its our bussiness to sell drugs, that cause disability, and psychological suffering.

There are No lab tests,MRIs, brain scans, X-rays or chemical imbalance tests that can verify any mental disorder is a physical condition. me -former victim of psychiatry

Never rely on chance with mental health. Don't trust epidemiology or those who rely on it, and demand certainty from those in charge of your treatment. Else you and they are gambling with your life.
