Bipolar disorder: Does anyone know if the malicious and manipulative behavior is one aspect of the disease?
My mother has bipolar disorder and not where extreme illness and evil begins.
And maybe not. Malicious behavior and manipulative personality disorder is much more classic. Sometimes it is a limit of comorbid bipolar disorder. When someone with bipolar is in a state of agitation, it can snap and anger easily. What may appear as some malicious. There is a planned act or intentional, however. It's instant and responsive. So not really come into bipolar malicious unless someone is bad behavior or word. PPL with bipolar can sometimes appear as liars, but this is when a person is hiding that she can not remember because the head is the competition too fast. It is hiding the effects of the disease, not living a life of manipulation. It may come in the handling of some when they are very great, with wonderful plans we all must continue. This is a pretty mean manic state and those who know the person s / be able to see it. In all cases, the behavior stops when the episode. PPL W / bipolar not behave this way during periods of normalcy. Sooooo, malicious and manipulative in general, are traits of personality disorder but certain aspects of bipolar may seem a bit like themselves who are not familiar with the person or illness. If your mom, then you know enough to find out if these are constant or simply with his newspaper and is associated with specific moods. If ever, then it's probably more than bipolar.
