My grandpa was severely bipolar. My mom told me that he would have long episodes of depression where he wouldn’t get out of bed or even move to go to the bathroom or anything.
He would then start to get better and would be a normal guy until he slides into a manic state. He would just be really active and hyper. Eventually he would slide into psychosis. He would have hallucinations and delusions.
This was in the 70’s so when he got institutionalized he would get shock therapy and be prescribed lithium which he said was worse than anything.
