Hi XXXXXXX
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.
It is not too long but is quite strange but surely not Bipolar.
I can understand your suffering.
He seems to be suffering from moderate depression with an overlay of thought disorder.
There are good drugs available for managing such a problem with good results. Your psychiatrist will know the dose and regimen.
I hope the advise will be helpful for you.
