7. Fidgety behavior
All these symptoms of Bipolar Disorder are closely interconnected. The illness has symptoms that stem from other ones and so on.
Another symptom of this disorder is restlessness or continuous agitation. A person who suffers from Bipolar Disorder often experiences this issue where they cannot stay still. They may fidget with their fingers, tap their feet, bite their nails, or pull their hair.
When attention is brought to their restlessness, many of them are unaware that they are doing it, as if they are snapped out of a trance. This restlessness stems from anxiety and that uncontrollable energy boost. Again, this symptom is not exclusive to Bipolar Disorder; it can also occur in individuals with only anxiety.
For those who suffer from anxiety and are constantly fidgeting we recommend a stress-free toy that could help you with this habit.

please do not scare people and put fear and paranoia in their mind and eventually they get it. instead please give preventive measures. all the people are trained in 12 step you can prevent and also can be used as a treatment
Great answer . I could have not said it better myself. Ty🩵🩵🩵
You are absolutely right. In these days doctors see a patient as a money not as a person who need a help to live.
Agree
You can’t get something just by reading about it. You’re like the people that think that kids are going to become gay if they learn about homosexuality. You are the dangerous one, not information.
Lisa: Bipolar cannot be prevented.
Most symptoms addressed in this article are symptoms of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD); impatience, intense emotions, lack of self-regulation, distractibility, inability to focus, disorganization, restlessness, difficulty sleeping and rapid speech. Often people with ADHD also experience depression and or anxiety. ADHD symptoms may change over time but often carry into adulthood and are not episodes. ADHD is a persistent illness. Someone with ADHD and depression could and often are misdiagnosed with bipolar disorder.
With bipolar disorder (I or II) the depressive episodes are at least two weeks and can be alone or mixed with manic or hypomanic episodes, but it is not necessarily one or the other. To have one episode of depression or manic in a year or more can be considered bipolar disorder. A rapid cycler has 4 or more manic episodes in one year. The depression is episodes, not chronic.
My wife has bipolar manic depression
I feeel for ya as iv been there done that, I’d run off if I was you
What happens when some of us feel like we should be tested for this but the professionals don’t believe us and come up with a different conclusion? Do things have to be extreme or dangerous before we are taken seriously? Just asking.
I have never be diagnosed bipolar , just chronic depression and generalized anxiety.( but no one can say I am) .
Reading your post , I think people shouldn’t be caged in one classification and we should analyze customs, culture and the way we were thought to live . Example,, in my house I hate to see the kitchen and the bathroom dirty so I try to educate people living with me how to maintain cleaning . Is that mania ? I do not think so. On the other hand there are things that I pass them on and I can stand. We tend to confuse ways of living and likes and dislikes with “ names” ( bipolar etc etc ). . If we say that some behaviors are a result of MANIA, BIPOLAR etc . Then we should say that all people are Bipolar. Thanks .
