Bipolar disorder is a mood disorder which causes unusual and dramatic shifts in a persons behavior. A bipolar attack is a period of time in which the symptoms are most unmanageable.
Bipolar I Disorder (mot to be confused with Bipolar II). Highest suicide rate, mania, to include hallucinations and hearing voices, often violence. Bipolar I disorder also includes hypomania and severe depression. The term "Bipolar" at one time was known as Manic Depressive Illness. Currently, the name for the illness has come to include, erroneously, the Bipolar II. Bipolar II does not have the element of mania that Bipolar I does. Actually Bipolar II does have a manic element, but it is hypomanic, which is a lot less severe than the mania of Bipolar I. A lot of people, like me, start out as Bipolar II but become Bipolar I when they have their first full-blown manic attack (I prefer attack to episode because that's what it is--an attack on the mind).
No, not all women are bipolar. Bipolar is a mental disorder, just like cancer, or having lost an arm. We all have problems but women get mood swings because of PMS, not because they are bipolar.
Some people become psychotic during manic episodes of bipolar disorder.
If you are bipolar, don't risk taking allegra. I went to the hospital hardly able to breathe, my heart pounding fast and hard, breaking out in a sweat. It was not a heart attack.
Worrying or focusing intensely on things is apart of Bipolar disorder. Its as if you worry about thing that you know you shouldn't and can't help imagining something bad happening.
