First it is important to understand that although bipolar sufferers all deal with similar problems each person is still unique in what they have to cope with. This condition any strike anyone, man or woman, at anytime time, though it is usually diagnosed in the early to middle twenties. Living with this mental health condition can be like riding a roller coaster without the ability to ever get off.

As the emotions are constantly in upheaval, it is difficult for the person to have a normal life. Typical bipolar disorder behavior can be anything but typical. The person’s ability to control what they are doing is limited and their bipolar disorder behavior can put a strain on family, friends and working relationships.

The sufferer’s common bipolar disorder behavior during manic episodes can often affect not only the emotional and sometimes financial wellbeing of the sufferer but of their family as well. During the manic phase the person often acts unpredictably showing signs of irresponsibility or impulsivity. Their behavior can become dangerous to themselves as they may begin to over use alcohol, use illegal drugs, begin to spend beyond their means or strive to satisfy an increased sexual drive by engaging in risky sexual adventures.

Bipolar disorder behavior during serious bouts of depression or mania can turn into surprisingly vivid psychotic episodes during which time the person hears voices, has hallucinations, suffers from paranoia or can even come to believe that they have secret powers. They may alternate between a feeling of terrible sadness and blissful ecstasy. These mood swings disrupt the ability to reason, or be logical and often make it very difficult for the bipolar sufferer to understand that what they are doing is bad for them. That is why it is essential for the person to be under a doctor’s care, with a closely monitored program of medication and emotional support through group and individual therapy.
