Bipolar is normally thought of as highs and lows, but if you’re a generally depressed person that has one manic episode in your 30s, you’ll still be labeled bipolar. A manic episode isnt a good mood so much as it is your brain overclocking/over revving. You might think you made a discovery thats going to make you a millionaire, you can’t sleep and next thing you know you’re having a psychotic break and believing that you’re actually the savior of the world. You spend 3 months talking to invisible people that you know are there but you can’t prove it. Eventually with time or risperdone you snap out of it. Anti depressants do not have an affect on bipolar depression.
Borderline PD i dont know much about but they do have serious abandonment and trust/ social issues.
