Why are Bipolar (manic-depressive) people so mean spirited or angry and hateful?


Question:


Answers:
It is not something we intend to be. I have been living with bipolar disorder for many years. I just started treatment about 7 months ago. I am a very different person now compared to before I began treatment. We bipolar's suffer from chemical imbalance in the brain. Some of us have a very severe form of the disorder that makes it impossible to function normally even with medication. Others of us have a very mild form that may not even require medical intervention. And we run a complete range in between the two extremes. I suspect that you have run into some of us that is not being treated or is on the more severe end of the scale. I have created a website to help people living with this disorder as well as their friends and family. The site is not complete but I am working on it.

I hope this helps.

Sincerely,
Terry

Shut-up, that's why. Will you be my friend?
You're involved with or meeting the wrong ones. Or you may unknowingly be provoking and instigating people to be mean and hateful.

Just a guess.
they didnt take their meds regularly. and although it this sounds selfish, u just have to understand that this is her extreme uncontrolable mood swings, not her real true self. give her/him a break. just understand that he's not well.
We're not all like that...
People with bipolar have no idea what they are going to feel like from day to day and this increases their frustration.
