    is it bipolar? help!

    my friend is having problems and has done for quite a while now.

    most of the time hes incredibly hyper and dances about and doesnt stop talking and is the life and soul of the party.

    then other times hes angry, so much that he shouts at people and hits things. hes recently just gone on one of his rants, he was in a foul mood on monday night, crying and shouting and hitting walls, arguing with me and all of his friends and then he dissapeared and hasnt been seen since, as he occasionally does.

    he gets really paranoid and thinks people are talking about him too. i know hes a good person, i know all he wants is to be happy but i, and everybody else worrys about him so much. He knows he has a problem, but seems hesitant to make it better. are these the symptoms of bipolar or is it somthing else? i suffer with depression myself and me worrying constantly about him really isnt helping me!

    Hi, they sound similar to bipolar given that his behaviour is extreme when happy AND when down - I would advise you to ask him (when he's on an up) to talk to his doctor; he needs help finding the balance between his two states.

    What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    I drew the line between hope and despair, and the line will hold.
