Hello, My husband has been diagnosed with bipolar by one sketchy doc, and reluctantly labeled?

It can't be an absolute concrete list, imo. Even though I've worked as a therapist (with both conditions), I would not try to pin it down to one set of symptoms/behaviors here. The descriptions - symptoms, behaviors - of many psychiatric conditions overlap.It's one reason I find labels dysfunctional.

I prefer to check with medical professionals to rule out physical causes, have family get the medications as docs see fit for the patient, and then deal with the behaviors that I see and that are reported by the patient and family members. Of course, sufferers of either condition here on HubPages may still be able to help you with their descriptions and I'll be interested to read them. Best wishes to you for health and peace.

I'd get another opinion from a less sketchy doc.

Sure I will help out where I can but lol due to the length restrictions that I already tried to push to answer this question I will have to add it to my main hub on the subject.

What drugs "treat" they also have have serious side-effects. Search for natural solutions. Dr. Mike.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
