Bipoler Signs

Everyone has seen the horror stories.  A lady with bipolar disorder murders her whole family.  A guy with severe mood swings kills himself.  It goes on and on.  You become worried that because you threw your shoes against the wall when you were angry that you might be bipolar and you have the capacity to commit atrocities.  But, what really are the bipolar signs?

First of all you need to understand that bipolar disorder does not mean that you have mood swings that change every few minutes.   People who have bipolar go through cycles of moods which can last days, weeks or even months.  They have depressive cycles and manic cycles so it’s important to know the bipolar signs for each cycle.

Depressive Bipolar Signs

  • low energy
  • loss of interest in anything that’s fun or entertaining
  • inability to work
  • extreme sadness
  • crying spells
  • lots of time spent at home or in the bedroom alone
  • thoughts of suicide

Manic Bipolar Signs

  • extreme amounts of energy
  • decreased need for sleep
  • racing thoughts
  • excessive talking
  • thoughts of being superior to everyone else or having special talents
  • hyper-sexual behavior
  • spending sprees that break the bank

These are some true bipolar signs that you can look for.  As I said before, in most cases of bipolar disorder manic and depressive cycles are not rapid and can last for several days each.  If you think you or someone you love may be suffering from bipolar disorder, it’s important to get to a doctor immediately.  There are plenty of medications that can help you conquer bipolar disorder and begin to live a normal and healthy life.
