Bipolar Disorder, Manic Episode, Calms Down In Few Minutes. Treatment?
Hi my mother has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder sometime ago, today she seems to be having a manic episode that i have never seen before, she is outraged and I don t know why. She doesnt take medication on her problem because she feels she doesnt need to. She has had episodes before but none like this, she usually calms down within minutes or so. I am very scared as to what to do.

Feeling that she does not medication could be a symptom of mania, if the diagnosis of mania or bipolar disorder is correct
Bipolar disorder is known to have such episodes
Such episodes in due course become severe and is difficult to control
Better to seek a psychiatrist who might prescribe mood stabiliser, if diagnosis is actually bipolar disorder
