I wanna know how it could be for no reason? I think there’s always a reason for everything. If you’re gonna cry, there has to be a reason why…right?

I have suffered from bipolar since i was a child i am now 54,i recently had surgery for my angina when i had 3 stents fitted,since having this operation my bipolar syptoms have subsided,i can think better and my mood has changed considerably,could anybody enlighten me?

Don’t give me links, please list them from your own experience or someone you know.

Thanks

My doctor labeled me with PTSD but googling clearly shows it is BP.

Im 19 years old, Im on Wellbutrin now,

but having:
Violent thoughts, mood swings, compulsiveness cleaning, I get depressed and times very happy, withdraw from everyone and everything, just want to sleep and have suicidal thoughts, though. Once someone tries to get me to open up about my feelings I just get raged with anger.I have been struggling with these moods and thoughts since I was a teenager.

I am not sure if I am bipolar or not. How do you know for sure? Like what are some of the , I guess red flags, for being bipolar.

I heard this is the preferred scam these days to get disability and not work. But how is that possible? Isn’t there a physical test to confirm? And wouldn’t the meds prescribed hurt a healthy, non-bipolar person?

I don’t know what’s wrong with me.. I just need some help identifying some symptoms, so I have an idea of what could be wrong, and get the right help accordingly.

I have read that it causes highs and lows. What exactly does that mean when you have highs and lows. Can someone give me a detailed and easy-to-understand explanation of bipolar disorder? Thanks in advance.

And are bipolar 2 sufferers usually violent?

How do you know if someone in your family is also a manic ? or a manic depressive ?

and if they are how can you help or what should you do ?

and what if they won’t go to the doctors ?

thanks to anyone with any advice.
the family member I have in mind isn’t crazy, but she had a bad childhood. I want to help her.
