What Are The Symptoms Of Bipolar Disorder?
My daughter is 50 and I believe she is bi Polar and an alcoholic. She has alienated her friends and most of the family. She talks in circles, always looking back and cannot look forward. Goes on rants either verbally or in texts. She is unable to care for herself, keeping clean, cleaning her appartment etc. I live hundreds of miles away but want to help her get treatment. Does this sound like bipolar disorder Sorry I left my e-mail out b YYYY@YYYY

Hello,
In my opinion, these are symptoms of schizophrenia. In the case of bipolar disorder symptoms are episodes of sad mood, lack of interest in work, fatigability, low self-esteem, low self-confidence and episodes of mania during which people have an elated mood, hyperactivity, decreased sleep, increased spending, sociability.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
