Berkley, I am not saying that you are Bi-polar, I would have to do a thorough mental health evaluation, but we always rule out the physical symptoms before proceding to mental illness symptoms.

There are many reasons for mood swings, fatigue, and s/s of depression. Go to a professional before diagnosing yourself.

I will agree that the jails are full of persons dx. BiPolar. Many have hyop-manic moods which lead to uncontrollable anger and in their inability to calm themselves down they do impulsive things such as destroy property, hit or beat up a spouse, or steal when angered at someone. Some even kill in a jealous rage.

Refusing treatment only leads to worse problems.

Exellent points, Rhoni. I'm sure you see this on a regular basis. I have a sister who is bipolar. She is on meds and the difference is daylight and dark when she does not take them or when she starts a new one. It is a very bad situation.
