Indications a Person May Be Bipolar
Sometimes behavioral extremes are signs someone is bipolar. This does NOT always indicate the person is bipolar, so it is recommended that a doctor be consulted if you have concerns.
Some of the most common behavioral patterns include the following:
High Energy/Low Energy - The person is always active, mentally and physically, and then drops to having no energy or motivation. This can occur over the period of several weeks, or several days.
Talkative/Silent – The person will always have something to say to nearly anyone, and then not want to talk to anyone about anything.
Positive Thinking/Negative Thoughts – The person will feel like anything is possible, and that everything will go their way, to thinking they shouldn’t bother to try anything because they believe they will always fail.
Often, the person who experiences these extremes will not think anything is wrong. Getting someone to seek medical advice is often difficult, so it is recommended that you learn more about Bipolar Disorder, or read about experiences of others, which may encourage the person to finally seek medical advice and treatment.
