Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Could Cause Self Harming Behavior In A Person Suffering From Bipolar Disorder?
My 42 years old daughter threw herself from a bridge in Nov.She was bi polar . She was working and studying and showed no signs. But I believe she was occasionally using cannabis. Could the combination of not taking her medication for her illness and the drugs cold hav driven her to jump? I m her mother and I m devastated and looking for answers. Please help.
Maybe a different case has made your daughter take that decision. However, both taking cannabis and not taking her pills are serious reasons and she should consult a psychiatrist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Elona Dashi, General & Family Physician
