[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought bipolar disorder was really extreme -- like, taking your shoes and socks off and walking to Baltimore.[/quote]

No, there are actually several types of bipolar disorder.  Many people who are functional bipolars (and you'd be surprised how many of them there are) have bipolar disorder II which involve milder forms of hypomania (what I think OP's husband is going through) and depression.   Bipolar I disorder is what most people think of when they hear bipolar, and that involves the extreme mood swings.   [/quote]

So being unreasonable, lazy or bad with money could be symptoms of being bipolar? I'm not being sarcastic. I think that's a pretty wide net.[/quote]

Well no the actual diagnosis involves far more than someone being bad with money or lazy, etc.  But the point was that bipolar disorder isn't just diagnosed in those who have crazy highs or crazy lows.  Does the person cycle through periods of being on the go, getting a ton of stuff done, having lots of projects, and being involved in work with periods of skipping work, not doing much, letting projects go, not being involved?  That would be a sign of a bipolar disorder.  If a person is just constantly lazy or unreasonable and they don't go through cycles, well they might just be a jerk. [/quote]

Or they could be bipolar AND a jerk.[/quote]
