Could poor financial decision making be a sign of Bipolar disorder? |
I have a close friend who seems to have made poor financial decisions. He bought two new cars within a 4 month period, left his job to start his own business, but without ample finances to support the business, and unexplained mood swings. One day he's completely depressed and worrying about things, and the next day he's on a high and talking about how he's going to be a millionaire and will own planes, boats, etc. It sounds like bipolar to me. One KEY factor is staying awake without the need of drugs or medications. If this friend of yours stays awake on his own for long periods of time then I would check it out for sure. I am bipolar and I know that when I stay awake on these manic days, I tend to make planners, lists of things to do, lists of things to buy, goals that are completely unrealistic, I clean the house, I go shopping at 4am. Does any of that sound familiar? Another thing is that when the manic episode fades and I realize that I can't achieve the goals that I just set then I get depressed about it. www.crazymeds.org has lots of information so you might want to check that site, there should be a link to the forum site with even more information there. Sounds like he's taking pills. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/bipolar... Bipolar disorder Introduction From high to low. From euphoria to depression. From recklessness to listlessness. These are the extremes associated with bipolar disorder, which can be a serious and disabling mental illness. Bipolar disorder is also known as manic-depression or manic-depressive illness 鈥?manic behavior is one extreme of this disorder and depression is the other. Bipolar disorder often begins in adolescence or early adulthood and may persist throughout life. The causes of bipolar disorder are elusive, and there's no cure. The flares of bipolar disorder may last for weeks or months, causing great disturbances in the lives of those affected, their friends and their families. Left untreated, the condition usually worsens. But bipolar disorder can be managed with medications and other therapies. http://www.nimh.nih.gov/healthinformatio... http://www.bipolar.com/ Movies: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=... http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=... SURE COULD BE..ONLY ONE WAY TO FIND OUT. IF HE WON'T SEE A DOCTOR WAIT UNTIL HE'S REALLY DEPRESSED AND CALL 911- THEY'LL TAKE HIM TO AN E.R. AND MAYBE THEY CAN GET HIM TREATMENT IN THE SHORT TERM UNTIL HE COMES TO GRIPS WITH THE PROBLEM. Yes, that is bipolar. I went into bankruptcy with bipolar. 6 months of clothes shopping straight every day every hour almost. |
