Can You Be Diagnosed With Bipolar With One Manic Episode?

Alan — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 07:07:59 +0000

I have a friend who has been diagnosed with Bipolar disorder. His whole life he has been a rather introverted person. This could be an example of depression. Last month he became extroverted for the first time, and became talkative brave, and out going. He then went to the doctors and recieved a diagnoses of Bipolar 1 disorder.
Can a person be diagnosed with Bipolar 1 disorder with only 1 supposbly manic episode? He has never acted this way in any other point in his life?

Any One Out There Who Is Bipolar I That Tries To Go Manic On Purpose?

Although my moods are more stabilized now, I miss the creativity and drive that would come while I was getting to or at a manic stage. I really excelled during those stages. However the stable moods also mean that I don’t have to deal with the far more common deep depression. I want my creativity back.

In Bipolar, Does Mania And Depression Happen Suddenly?

Alan — Sun, 28 Feb 2010 13:15:56 +0000

Are episodes of mania and depression often triggered by events? If so, are you immediately manic or depressed after the event or does it creep up closely (say over a period of a few days)?
On that same line, if you have an episode of mania and then suddenly something REALLY bad happens – would you stay manic? Or could you swing to a depressed mood?

How Do I Know For Sure My Bipolar Ex Gf Will Come Down From Her Manic Stage And Go To Depression?

Alan — Sun, 28 Feb 2010 06:56:08 +0000

my ex gf and i dated for 3 years. she broke up with me a couple times, and hooked up with a couple of guys, then came back. same thing everytime. she broke up with me abou 4 months ago because she said she wanted to be “alone”. she hasn’t been “alone” the whole time. she hooked up with someone a week after we broke up. and 2 months after we broke up got a new boyfriend. they’ve been dating for about 2 months now.
everytime we break up, after a while she comes back to me. i don’t know if that will happen this time. the last big break up we had, we still talked a couple times a week and hung out a few times over the 5 months we were broken up. this time, she never talked to me unless it was to flip out on me. but recently she had come in contact with me although she still has a boyfriend. she asked me how i was doing and stuff. i don’t know what this means.
she has been diagnosed with bipolar and does not take meds. i just want to know how do i know she is really going manic during these stages and not just being a ****? How can i be sure that she will become depressed this time and want me back? how do i know its really bipolar? it sounds a lot like it.
how can i know that there will be a depressed stage because she has been manic for about 6 months now. last time it only lasted about 4. does it do different things everytime? is a depressed stage definetly going to come?
anyone with experience with bipolar or bipolar exs please help.

Can Someone Experience A Manic State If They Are Not Bipolar?

Alan — Sat, 27 Feb 2010 06:53:32 +0000

I have Recurrent Major Depressive Disorder, and sometimes – but not often at all – I feel like I have a somewhat manic state. It is very very rare, but it happens once in a while. It usually happens after I’ve felt very down for quite some time, and then suddenly, out of the blue, I feel like I’m SO happy, but in an agitated sort of, almost annoying way. My mind goes ten million miles an hour, I talk fast, and I don’t sleep and I get LOTS done.
Then, after feeling this way for maybe a day (or not even a whole day), I’ll crash BIG TIME. I will feel the worst depression ever in my life after that.
Is this a brief episode of bipolar or something, even though I’m not normally bipolar? Or is this normal with regular depression?

How To Stop Ongoing Bipolar Dysthymia/mild Depression?

Alan — Sat, 27 Feb 2010 00:52:23 +0000

I am on a high dose of Lamictal, the stabilizer with the most antidepressant properties.
I am on Lithium to manage the hypomania and augment Lamictal’s antidepressant properties.
I take Omega 3 fish oil as an antidepressant supplement.
I take Seroquel and sleeping pills to get a full night’s sleep.
I cannot take antidepressants without going manic.
I see my therapist regularly.
I am fairly stable and hold a full-time professional job.
This is a typical problem of med compliant, proactive people with bipolar type II. It sucks, and I’d like to figure out how to make it stop.
Any ideas on how to shake the dysthymia/slight depression?
