Mood Swings and Inappropriate Social Behavior
Constant changes in their moods are often seen. They may be extremely happy at one point of the day and by evening or night, they may suddenly feel depressed. Behaving impulsively and taking part in a lot of pleasurable, high-risk behaviors such as spending sprees, impulsive sex, and impulsive business investments. Also, thinking of death and suicide is another common symptom in people with bipolar disorder.
People close to a person suffering from bipolar disorder may find it hard to continue staying with him or keeping any relationship with him. His behaviors may seem to be intolerable for them. But after all, we are human beings who search for love and attention continuously. And people with this disorder also seek our support and empathy. Yes! It is empathy rather than sympathy which can go a long way to ensure a successful rehab process.
