Quote From: daceydI don't think the woman had bipolar. I have bipolar 1 and have sat in many support groups and done much study on it and this is not bipolar. Bipolar II has only hypomania and more depression. More likely this woman has just allowed her behavior to remain undisciplined feeling that she cannot control herself. Even bipolar 1's can learn to control themselves to some degree in their manias. And her meds dont work --another factor. She may have borderline personality disorder or post traumatic stress disorder due to some trauma in her past. This is more like to be the case than bipolar. disorder. I am resistant to meds and am a rapid cycling Bipolar Type II patient. Trust me, she is bipolar, and I know what she goes throough. I fight everyday with many of the same emotions and I have some relief because of meds. Just remember she is COMPLETELY unmedicated, she sees the world differently than anyone on meds or who is 'normal'
