Can getting paid cause a bipolar person to become manic?

Question:

My mother is bipolar and goes on spending sprees whenever she gets any money in her hands. When she gets paid, it is the worst as she spends before she pays her bills. It seems like getting paid makes her swing into the manic phase. Is this possible?

Answers:
With bipolar, everything is possible. keep a note of her reaction when money is available to make sure you are 100% certain.

Other Answers:
Take away her money, and see if she gets depressed.

Yes. Sounds like your mom enjoys the thrill of spending money.

Also sounds like your mom has enough money to last her a while.

If this bothers you, why not try to help her before things spiral out of control.

No but the way the money is handled might make the mania apparent.

I'm sure anything is possible. I do know that spending sprees can be part of the manic phase, but whether or not getting the money starts them, I don't know.

A relative of mine used to pass bad checks and even ended up in jail as a part of her manic phases. She would also buy pets she really didn't have the time or means to support.

very possible!

Probably her mood cycle was starting to swing about the same time that she got money. Could be a trigger, it could just be the timing. Have you mentioned this to her doctor?

If your mother is having trouble functioning in her normal life, it could be worth re-visiting a doctor.
