Bipolar disorder (formerly known as manic depression) is pretty much the worst mental illness you can have because you can't control the swings between mania and depression and you're very much aware of how crappy it is, hence the need for meds. And they are very strong meds. I have a now former friend who is bipolar and it was quite an experience to learn about it by seeing it and being around it. As long as she stayed on her meds she was relatively normal, but if she was feeling great during a manic phase and decided she didn't need to take them anymore there are no words to describe the hell she would rain down on any and everyone who she felt was a threat. It doesn't help that she is a legit narcissist which makes her manic phases even worse. In her depressive phase she's suicidal and extremely paranoid. These people are very abusive physically and mentally to themselves and others when they are not on their meds. I've only ever truly been afraid of one person in my life and it was her. Here is a site to explain more of what it is...... My former friend has Bipolar 1 disorder. Bipolar disorder (formerly called manic-depressive illness or manic depression) is a mental disorder that causes unusual shifts in mood, energy, activity levels, concentration, and the ability to carry out day-to-day tasks. There are three types of bipolar disorder. All three types involve clear changes in mood, energy, and activity levels. These moods range from periods of extremely “up,” elated, irritable, or energized behavior (known as manic episodes) to very “down,” sad, indifferent, or hopeless periods (known as depressive episodes). Less severe manic periods are known as hypomanic episodes. |
