if so can you tell me, who is doing the research and what they are researching.

It turns out I’m bipolar.. But I’m just afraid of becoming schizophrenic if I’m not careful because the symptoms were similar. Thought there were hidden messages in things, had dallusions, was “manic”. I’m fine now that I’m medicated on risperidone. If I smoke weed on medication, could I become schizophrenic? I know about the vague link between weed and schizophrenia, but I’m just wondering if the bipolar thing is a factor in the risk.

I’m doing a research paper on bipolar disorder and I have to focus on a common symptom/side effect of the disease. A lot of other students in the class are doing a mental disorder and it’s effect on substance abuse but I wanted to do something different. Any suggestions would be great!

Ive been on meds for the past month and it has reallly made me realize how I acted with out them.. I dated my firs love for about 2 years and I treated her like complete crap she didnt deserve it and i didnt deserve her… She never gave up on me we didnt kno I was bipolar but I definatly had something wrong with me by how horribly i would treat her… As bad as I was to her she never wrote me off 2 and a half years we have been broken up and

we always remained on talking terms shes dating some one else now an it makes me sad I just want to make up for every time I made her feel bad for no reason but Im to late.. she lives a few blocks away its almost impossible to not think about her itleast once a day what should I do

A birthday party for my son turned in to a disaster when my six year old brother, recently diagnosed ADHD & Bipolar, threw a water bottle at my seven year old, throwing him to the ground and knocking out a tooth. Shortly before this incident, he tripped a kid while waiting in line to play a game, then shoved him to the ground. Although this was not the first time he has harmed one of my children, this was the first time that my husband and I blew a fuse. The comment “Be patient with him…he is sick” is ringing in my ear every time I see my children look at me in confusion after their “best bud” has knocked them down. Now my relationship with my parents is suffering. Where do I draw the line? How do I prevent keeping my children apart from my brother, who they love so much? Am I wrong for wanting to protect my children?

how dose med effect someone who is taking this med and had about 8 beers

how to deal with the highs and lows when you’re in the moment?
exercising is not doing it
I don’t try to control it I have been going with the flow but my mood swings are draining myself and those around me and I’m getting into trouble at work- I have to wait to see a Dr.

My brother-in-law had been diagnosed bipolar at the age of 17 he is now 42. After my mother-in-law died, he became worse. My husband is his only sibling. He despises everyone around him and accuses people of doing things they didn’t do. He purposely says things to aggravate people and threatens (that he is going to kill my family or burn down my house) from time to time. My husband gets furious with him and tells him not to call our house due to the harassment. My B-I-L says he would never act on it. He leaves vulgar messages, threats, and excerpts from movies like Star Trek and Star Wars. He uses up all the tape on the message machine and calls all night long and throughout the day. I do try to talk to him however I don’t voice much because if I try to prove him wrong with his implications, he gets angered. Yesterday, I was on the phone with him for 3 hours. He is arguing constantly with people in his building and other relatives. He is on Lithium and something else, not sure what. Please does anyone have any suggestions?
doubleoc… He often tells me that he does have a mental illness. He now claims to have Post Traumatic Stress Disorder due to the two restraining orders he has against him for the threats he has made.
gotta love da LI**** We did have a restraining order because he threatened to kill my kids. He has been institutionalized 3 or 4 times. Quite sad. He is afraid to go back and after he harasses us, he begs us not to get a medical proxy. Meanwhile, he is at risk of getting evicted. I am also afraid he may get worse in an institution. I feel badly for him but on the other hand he is driving me crazy.

Based on recent research by the Center for Disease Control. PLEASE SEE REMARKS BELOW BY FTOM2006 for more specific study details.

I have heard that if you do not have seizures, but take anticonvulsants, it can cause you to have seizures. is that true? can taking a med for seizures cause you to have them even if you have never had a seizure? I take tegretol for bipolar, and just wanna know if thats possible. all sites i read on it only say things about people who are bipolar epileptics.
