Answer:

yes very much so. my brother is bi polar. before he was diagnosed, he was very elated and very sick. he was not eating, thought everything was poison, spent money erratically, very paranoid, and did not realize he was sick. i tried to get him to a psychiatric hospital for help, but he would not go, because he though there was nothing wrong with him. he finally tried to run some one over with his car because he thought they were after him, and the police brought him to a psychiatric hospital. were he was treated with medication, and was able to function again.

If you were a female I would say for sure...

It's only possible if you don't have people around you that care about you and want the best for you. Without people like that, you could remain bi-polar for years..and years.

Yes. I've suffered from Manic-Depression (or Bi-polar Disorder) for some time now. Seek treatment before it gets out of hand. Don't put it off like I did, almost ruining my life.

Very much so! My father didn't even realize he was suffering from depression for over 20 years. It wasn't until he tried to quit smoking using Zyban which is used to help people when trying to quit. It has the same major ingredients as a very common anti-depressant and it wasn't until he started taking the Zyban that he realized everything. It was pretty incredible to see the difference. He was never able to stop smoking unfortunately, but he was able to acknowledge his depression and treat it.
