What Do Anger Outbursts And Decreased Sleep In An Adult Indicate?
Question: I know a 32 year old man who goes very up and down and gets very angry and breaks things and yells. He will go days without sleep and without eating at times. We do know he has had numerous concussions when he was younger. We don't know if he is bipolar or if it could be something from the concussions. Then other times he can be very nice. But he just flips to angry so fast. he is never aggressive towards another person short of yelling but will start to break things
