How do you know when someone has bipolar disorder? Please help? |
My mom is 46 and I believe she has some sort of mental problem because she can't control her anger. She would call me and threaten me that she is gonna kill my boyfriend if we have sex. (I am 20 years old btw. ) And it happens 2-3 times a week. She wants me to stay home 24/7 and study. She calls me a failure all the time even when I got in UC Berkeley. She doesn't drive, I drive her around and give her all kinds of help all the time, she is disgustingly dependent on me and my dad. I really can't manage my life around her so much anymore. Last week she called my boyfriend's mom and told her that she, (my mom) has cancers and I don't care about her. And I know for sure she doesn't have any cancers because I'm always the one who takes her to the doctor. . I'm so tired of this. I called her doctor, but i don't know if she's going to freak out if she finds out because she believes she's mentally healthy. How can someone like this get treated? She won't see a psychologist. I don't think this is bi-polar. I think she needs to be tested for a much bigger problem. She may have some disorder in the brain that with pressure and or pain cause her mood to trigger like this. Just don't give up on her,. I know it can be a pain but, until you really know what you are dealing with, try to get her help. Good luck This sounds more like a control issue. Dipolar can definitely play a part in this. This is medication out there that will help her but if she thinks the is fine then the will be a chance that she will not take it. As for her going to the doctor I wish you luck because she may not go to that. You may have to do a reverse role and tell her that what she is doing is not right and that you will leave. My grandfather is like that and when I go off he calms down. I wish you luck LPN and experience Well, bipolar is a very difficult thing to diagnose. If you think your mom may be bipolar, pay close attention to her moods. With bipolar, you have major ups and downs. When she's happy does she (example) spend a lot of money, or rearange the house. Does she engage in a lot of activities which she wouldn't normally do? Or if she's down, does she get extremelly sad, almost suicidal maybe? People with bipolar are all different, sometimes anger does come along with it. If your mom is bipolar then there's really nothing you can do about it unless she will talk to a therapist or something. I am bipolar myself You sound like a very responsible person. I'm glad!, not many your age are this sweet, caring and responsible! :) Maybe she will see her General Physician, or maybe a Psychiatrist. Medications are usually the first thought of when treating Bipolar.
