How can you tell the difference between the bipolar illness and the personality?!


Question: I think i know the difference but my husband hasnt a clue.


Answers: I think i know the difference but my husband hasnt a clue.

Personality can be targeted by certain traits and environmental contributors that helped form your character. It can't be fixed with medication... it is solely one's disposition obtained throughout life.

Bipolar can be treated with medication, and very effectively. It is proven to be caused by chemical imbalances in the brain, and the extremity to which episodes can reach is alarming. I can't imagine one's personality including states of utter psychosis or dilusional suicidality, hallucinations, and such variation over time.

Hope that helps

Bipolar is when the mood swings widely. Medication will even out the personality for people with this illness.

If it's your husband that's sick, he won't see it! That's one of the problems from the disease. They think they are fine and go off their medications all the time, or won't even get help at all because they can't see they are sick!

bipolar,is an illness where people have extreme mood swings. such as hating life and wanting to die, to going out feeling they are on the top of the world. this is not just a one off occurance. if it happens alot chances are they are bipolar
