Bipolar disorder..?

I have a friend that has bi polar disorder and he has not been on meds for a few years and he has mood swings ..he gets mad ALL the time ..is that part if it..he says he is made at everything the world per say and he cant explain why...i would love to find out some info about this disorder other than straigt facts from the web sites ...
Answer:
It definitely sounds like your friend needs to go see Psychiatrist and get on meds as soon as possible. Meds will level out his moods and he will not have the major swings in moods anymore once the right med(s) is found to help him. He is not going to have a "explanation" necessarily as to why because this is a chemical imbalance and just as someone who is not diagnosed gets angry he does but it is more extreme due to that chemical imbalance and therefor he needs help. There are also many other things that could be going on that only a Psychiatrist could figure out to help him. Stress, depression (because anger is sadness turned inward). I hope he gets the help he needs and it is good that he has someone like you that cares.
He needs to see a psychiatrist. I am unipolar which is similar to bipolar except not as severe. I'm on welbutrin. He needs help.
Having had this disease, for a number of years.what your friend describes, sounds pretty normal. When I wasn't on meds, my mood swings would effect every part of my life. Bipolar has a tendency to make you think about negative things, more than pleasant things. That usually carries over into everyday life...
