Bipolar I disorder

multiple times throughout the film where I actually had tears swelling up in my eyes. Personally, I think they did a great job displaying what it is like to live with bipolar disorder.

What really shocked me was the descriptions of when they were experiencing mania. Before listening to what they were saying about it, I never really knew what “mania”…

reception he has ever received, their former attitudes of him miraculously transformed. Diagnosis: Based on Kevin’s symptoms, I diagnose him with Reactive Attachment Disorder and Bipolar Disorder.

states that, “just this morning we were discussing how she has blown through the budget for a charity event.” “I told her that she could not spend any more money.” “She went into a rage saying that she was leaving me!” “Twenty-five minutes later, she was singing and smiling as she brought me a cup of coffee.” “I can’t take the ups and downs anymore.” Furthermore, her husband states, “I was unaware that she wasn’t taking her medications, until three days ago, when her behavior really…

Examples are bountiful in his Act two, scene two speech; “Am I a coward?... But I am pigeon-livered and lack gall… what an ass I am (II.ii.548-560)!”.
