Bipolar disorder was earlier called as Manic Depressive psychosis. It's a major illness that needs medical management by an expert. ICD 10 F31 is the international classification of this disorder. People who are in the high phase lose insight. Meaning they don't know their behavior is different and far away from normal. They feel on the top of the world. Who wants medication in such a high feeling? It is the close relatives who can tell unmistakably about the altered behavior. Sleep is reduced. Speaking and flow of thoughts increases in the hypomania phase and it is common to find that the person revolts against medication. The same person when in depression feels opposite. Dull and lethargic he lacks enthusiasm and zest in life's activities. In the depression phase he is willing to take medicines, which he rebels against in the high phase. If in doubt meet another psychiatrist with a close relative. My best wishes are with you, Happiness doctor
