[quote=Anonymous]This happened to my nephew. He eventually got a bipolar diagnosis (ruled out schizophrenia). He was 22 at first break. The first episode he was away at school and ended up arrested since police thought he was on drugs or being belligerent. He is a very good kid, never in trouble. My sister had an awful time because then he was held on a lock at hospital. Since he was an adult it complicated her being able to intervene. He only had one other episode so far (in 6 years) and since they knew the signs he was able to get his meds adjusted and he fairly quickly was back to himself. Nothing like the first episode. I remember it taking awhile to get an official diagnosis. Lots of stress/change complicates it. He never has had the depression, just the mania/talking gibberish. Not sleeping when it happens.[/quote]
